Here are some of the key features of memorialized accounts:

• Facebook does not allow anyone to log into a memorialized account.
• Memorialized accounts cannot be modified in any way. This includes adding or removing friends, modifying photos or deleting any pre-existing content posted by the person.
• Depending on the privacy settings of the deceased person's account, friends can share memories on the memorialized Timeline.
• Anyone can send private messages to the deceased person.
• Content the deceased person shared (ex: photos, posts) remains on Facebook and is visible to the audience it was shared with.
• Memorialized Timelines don't appear in public spaces such as in suggestions for People You May Know or birthday reminders.
• Groups solely belonging to a memorialized account will be able to select new admins, while Pages will be removed from Facebook.

Please keep in mind that creating a Timeline in remembrance of an already deceased person is not allowed. We encourage you to create a Page or a group for this purpose instead.
