Before you slip off these mortal coils, you merely have to go to your account settings, click on “Security” and you’ll find an option to add a legacy contact. This will become your formerly designated dead status updater. That person can post to your timeline, update the profile pictures and, most importantly, respond to friend requests.

In the past (like yesterday), Facebook would let a deceased user’s page stay up as a kind of frozen memorial. Apparently, this didn’t sit too well with the grieving family members who are clearly having troubles working through the final stage of grief: acceptance. (editor’s note: harsh)

“By talking to people who have experienced loss, we realized there is more we can do to support those who are grieving and those who want a say in what happens to their account after death,” so says Facebook.
