Thanks for your comment, Jon. I agree, I like to see the birthday reminders, and deleting their Facebook would definitely be sad, especially because nowadays Facebook is a part of people’s lives.

Memorialized profiles, legacy contacts… whoa. The Facebook language threw me off too, like, select a “friend” to be your legacy contact… I’m like, it’s not going to be a friend, it’ll be a family member. Then I realized they meant “Facebook friend.”

As for people announcing deaths on social media before telling people in real life.. yikes.

I think it’s nice to see their birthday reminders and posts from people who remember them occasionally. It would be sad to delete your account when you die, just like you wouldn’t want to delete your memory from your loved ones’ brains.

Good topic for discussion.
