When a loved one passes away, they leave behind a life of accounts that need to be handled and attended to. While most families know to take care of things like the deceased\u2019s bank and credit card accounts, they may not consider or forget about their loved one\u2019s social media accounts. With almost everyone being on at least one social media platform or another, it\u2019s important to address these accounts after your loved one\u2019s cremation services in Canby, OR.<\/a><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, there is no one way to handle these accounts as each social media platform has different policies and procedures. You will just need to be prepared to provide some important information to the funeral home or crematory in order to move forward with a direct cremation<\/a>. To help you get started, we will take a look at some of the most popular platforms and their processes.<\/p>\n

Facebook<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Facebook is the giant of all social media. It is what started it all and continues to go strong. This social media channel gives families two ways of dealing with their loved one\u2019s accounts.<\/p>\n

The first option is by memorializing the account. Depending on the settings, friends and family may still post to the page. Many families enjoy this option as it allows them to have a digital memorial to their loved ones. You will know if an account has been memorialized because the word \u201cRemembering\u201d will appear next to the account holder\u2019s name.<\/p>\n

The second option families can choose is to delete the account altogether. To do so, the family member will need to prove they are an immediate family member of the deceased or an executor. For either choice, families must contact Facebook directly.<\/p>\n

Instagram<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Instagram has risen in popularity and now is the second largest social media platform behind Facebook. It is also now owned by Facebook so the options here of how to handle the account are very similar.<\/p>\n

You can choose to memorialize the account and the word \u201cRemembering\u201d will appear next to their name on their profile. All of the images and videos they posted will remain and no one will be able to log into the account keeping it secure.<\/p>\n

You can also choose to delete the account entirely by contacting Instagram and providing the required documents.<\/p>\n

LinkedIn<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If your loved one was a business professional, they might have had a LinkedIn account. This platform allows you to remove your loved one\u2019s profile by submitting a form along with the required information and documents. Once the profile is removed, it will not be in any search results and all information on the account will be deleted.<\/p>\n

\"cremationFinal Thoughts<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In today\u2019s world, most people have several social media accounts. While we covered some of the top three, there are many, many more to consider. Your loved one could have been on other channels including Snapchat, TikTok, and Pinterest just to name a few. You will need to reach out to each platform directly to learn how to deactivate, memorialize, or delete your loved one\u2019s profile<\/p>\n
