What happens to the 1.5 million Folks who will die on Facebook This Year? Their Profiles can live on in Perpetuity if that is what the family chooses.

The most common complaint about the 1.5 million facebook users who will die this year,is a call going out to the living to reconnect with a deceased loved one.

Facebook has one of the more progressive memorial policies. Those who die and who are on  Facebook can have their profile live on- It’s up to the family.
Twitter recently has made archived tweets as  a memorial policy available to Loved ones of  the deceased.

One of the biggest trends in online digital death and dying is that obituaries are moving from print to online. In fact if your planning your funeral one should write your obituary and plan for a place to have it placed online. This will continue to happen as the newspaper obituary dies. THE ONLINE OBITUARY CAN HELP YOU SAVE ON FUNERAL COST.

Snippet From the Huffington Post:

“This year, 1.5 million Facebook users will pass away  but their Facebook profiles will live on. This is a growing problem and people are naturally asking: can major social media sites handle their dead? The most common complaint is the call to “reconnect” with a deceased loved one. These social networks are for the living and were never built to deal with the dead. Just look how long it took for Facebook to announce a death policy — Twitter just announced theirs last week!

But there’s a larger story here, and an even bigger opportunity. 85% of Americans who die this year are not on Facebook, and with newspapers struggling, the printed obituary’s days are numbered. But they won’t just disappear – they will move online. If the purpose of an obituary is to inform a community about the passing of a loved one, it seems like social media will be much more efficient in doing that. Not to mention all of the sharing tools that could allow people to write an obituary collaboratively”.via www.huffingtonpost.com

The article the Huff Post Comes from the Founder of 1000 memories who has some the best graphics available at there new free obituary site.
