Should you post on social media when someone dies?
Never post anything, however well-intentioned or sweet, until you’re sure those closest to the deceased have been informed.

What do you do with the mail of a deceased person?

How do you tell a friend about a death?

Does Facebook delete deceased accounts?
You can choose to have your account permanently deleted should you pass away. This means that when someone lets us know that you’ve passed away, all of your messages, photos, posts, comments, reactions and info will be immediately and permanently removed from Facebook.
Usually, this means that the account will still be there to visit or post messages to, but will be made more private, so that only people who knew the person who has died can find it. The social media site will also stop sending out updates on birthdays and other anniversaries.
What happens to my Facebook account on death?

What happens on social media after a funeral?
Social media accounts might not be the main priority after a loved one has died, but they can definitely cause some added pain in the weeks and months after the funeral. Something as simple as logging into Facebook and finding a birthday reminder or notification from your loved one can be incredibly upsetting.
Remember: there may be social media accounts you are not aware of, in which case it can help to do a quick Google search of their name, and ask their friends if they know about any other social media accounts. A few social media sites allow you to ‘memorialise’ an account instead of deleting it or leaving it as it is.
