How To Appoint A Facebook Profile Executor For After Death

A Facebook account will be memorialised after Facebook becomes aware of your passing. Learn how to request the memorialisation of an account from here.

Write a pinned post for your profile, like share a final message on your behalf. View posts, even if you had set your privacy to Only Me. Decide who can see and post tributes, if the account has an area for tributes. Delete tribute posts. Change who can see posts that you’re tagged in. Remove tags of you that someone else has posted. Respond to new friend requests, like old family members who weren’t yet on Facebook. Update your profile picture and cover photo. Request the removal of your account. Turn off the requirement to review posts and tags before they appear in the tributes section if you had timeline review turned on. Download a copy of what you’ve shared on Facebook if you have this feature turned on.
Log in to your account. Read your messages. Remove any of your friends or make new friend requests.

Click the drop-down arrow in the top right of Facebook and click Settings. Select Settings & privacy, then click Settings. Click Memorialisation settings. Type in a friend’s name in Choose a friend and click Add. To let your friend know they’re now your legacy contact, click Send.
