My mom was on facebook 80% percent of her day. She was disabled and couldn't get around much so most of her time was spent online with her friends and her many games.
I decided to have facebook Memorialize her page. Problem is they want a link to a Funeral Home website or to a newspaper obit. My brother and her SO decided not to do a memorial and they didn't do an Obit either. She was cremated by the Neptune Society so I have no clue what to do? How can I do this when I don't have those things?
I mean I guess I could pay to have an Obit put In the paper but that seems kind of backwards.
Any suggestions?
PS I do have her death certificate but that is not in a URL link that I can send them.
UPDATED - I wanted to say thanks to Voltagain - your suggestion worked and they have memorialized her page.

scan the death certificate. Put it in a web hosting site, like a jpg photo, and send them a link so they can down load it. See if they will accept that. You could also include a photo of her. Mostly they should just be looking for confirmation of her passing in case she isn't dead and comes back to them to complain about having her account frozen.

First of all, I am sorry for your loss.
No offense, but is this really something Facebook does?

thanks that is a good idea. I could put it Snapfish or somewhere like that?

Probably.. where ever you have an account that does not require the recipient to have an account to view it. Is snapfish open to any viewer? I know photo bucket can be viewed by anyone with a link. So can drop box.

I'm sorry for your loss. That's a sweet thing to do for your mother. I know my parents' friends are spread far apart- especially since so many moved to be near their children. Something like this will help extended friends that learn the news later.

First of all, I am sorry for your loss. No offense, but is this really something Facebook does? Yep. We did this with my Step-mom's account several years ago after she passed away. She was really active in the local theater community and her church, and we still get people leaving her messages on her birthday. |

My friend who committed suicide 3 years ago still has a facebook page and her family members and loved ones will sometimes post thoughts on it. Will you still be able to post on the page or does it just freeze it? I remember when you said she had passed. I am so very sorry for your loss. It's such a tough time.

your post made me think of a friend who died 9 months ago. i just checked his FB page and it's still there. of course there are mentions of his death but the fact that it's still there makes me think for a moment that he'll be back to post something current on his page. it's like time standing still.

What you can do depends a lot on the settings the person had when they were alive. Stuff they had hidden will remain hidden for example.

I am still waiting to hear back from Facebook but I assume they will accept the picture of the death certificate. |

I'm sorry for your loss Alibama. I think it 'a nice to memorialize a page. Our friends did that when their DD passed away. People still post especially on her birthday and anniversary of her death.
