It is our policy to memorialize all deceased users' accounts on the site. Memorializing the account set privacy so that only confirmed friends can see the profile (timeline) or locate it in Search.

In order to protect the privacy of the deceased user, we cannot provide login information for the account to anyone. However, once an account has been memorialized, it is completely secure and cannot be accessed or altered by anyone.
