Facebook does not take this gently - it'll do whatever it can to maintain you around, including emotional blackmail concerning what does it cost? your friends will certainly miss you.
As such, "Deactivation" is not the like leaving Facebook.

If an individual has passed away, a tradition call-- a Facebook good friend or loved one that was marked by the account proprietor prior to they died-- can obtain accessibility to that person's timeline, when accepted by Facebook. The tradition get in touch with might need to give a connect to an obituary or various other documentation such as a fatality certification. Facebook will "hallow" the web page so the departed timeline survives on (under control of the heritage contact, that can't publish as you), or if preferred, remove it.
Designate a specific heritage get in touch with person to manage your account after your passing. You can find that under settings > General > Manage Account > Your Legacy Contact.
