Hi, I just found this page by googling ‘what happens when your facebook friend dies’. Anyway, in part of my search I also came across this info of memorializing a facebook page:

http://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form=deceased

If a person fills out the form, the page is left up so friends can still write on the wall (kind of like what’s been done already on EB’s page), but the basic info is removed (contact information, status updates, etc) Also the page can’t be found through search results and no new friend requests are accepted.

I know you wrote this post over a year ago – but I thought to pass on this info to you anyway incase you didn’t already know about it.

Cheers!

Oy … I was thinking about this when we lost my friend in November. I know he was an avid gamer, and for nights on end I couldn’t stop thinking about all the ways he might have an online presence (email, personal pages, etc.) wherein his connections wouldn’t know what’d happened to him.
