Choose a 'Legacy Contact' for After You Croak

Everyone on Facebook will die. Eventually. In anticipation of this unavoidable truth, Facebook lets you name a legacy contact who will manage your account after you are gone. Your legacy contact can write a pinned post for your profile, respond to new friend requests that come after you have passed, and update your profile and cover photo (in case your final image is you in an ironic SpongeBob Halloween costume). They can even download your Facebook data, minus any messages you sent/received. You could also choose to have your account deleted after you die.
Facebook will send you an annual reminder to check your legacy contact, unless you turn that option off. Go Settings & Privacy > Settings > Accounts Center > Personal Details > Account ownership and control > Memorialization on desktop or mobile to select or change your legacy contact.

If you're a legacy contact for someone who's died, use this Memorialization Request form to tell Facebook about the person and ask to get their account memorialized. You may have to supply a copy of the death certificate or a link to an obituary to prove it.
