But be careful… apparently it strips out all their status updates. I had a family member take his own life… he left a bunch of posts for us and they are now gone… so don't memorialize the account if you want to keep those posts!

turns out you dont need proof to memorialize an account. Me and my friend memorialized his account using his name, birthdate, and a network he wasnt even connected to. 1 week later he couldnt even log into his facebook and had to create a new one. The system could be abused way to easily like this.

Just put a USB drive with all your passwords in your safe deposit box with your will. Or make a password protected zip file on a USB drive in your fireproof box and tell the next of kin that password – assuming they won't break in your house…

I agree that this is a good idea rather then the person page growing old which i think is even sadder

I think this is wonderful, especially for sudden deaths in young people.

People have been clamoring for this for ages, kudos to facebook for finally taking the initiative, no matter how morbid it may be.

I like the idea, a friend of mine is very close to their sister that just passed away and I'm sure they would like to do this for them. I set up a few memory pages for my family members on http://wsj.tributes.com/. So this idea would receive more traffic and interaction.

This is actually something that makes sense, a good friend of mine passed away a few years ago and his page has just been sitting there, people comment on it every not and again, but having it memorialized by facebook might be cool.. As long as they will undo it if it's not.

Decent idea, although I don't like to dwell in death. I'd probably avoid the page altogether.
