Facebook announced a way for users to deal with their death through social media. Facebook users can designate someone as a web executor, "a family member or friend who can manage their account when they pass away."
the legacy contact will be able to:
Write a post to display at the top of the memorialized Timeline (for example, to announce a memorial service or share a special message)
Respond to new friend requests from family members and friends who were not yet connected on Facebook
Update the profile picture and cover photo
Users can also complete a Memorialization Request.
