Memorialize social media accounts

In today's digital age, our social media profiles often hold a wealth of memories, connections, and personal stories. Memorializing your loved one's social media accounts can be a meaningful way to honor their life and keep their memory alive in the online space. Most major platforms, like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, offer options to memorialize accounts, allowing friends and family to celebrate their life, share memories, and post tributes. This process typically involves submitting a request to the platform along with necessary documentation, such as a death certificate.

Once memorialized, the account will have a special designation to signify that the person has passed away. It will become a place where loved ones can gather to reminisce, share photos, and leave messages. Some platforms even allow you to select a legacy contact—someone who can manage the deceased's account and ensure it remains a respectful tribute rather than being treated as an inactive account.
