Unarguably, this does always result in bad memory. To resolve this trouble, Facebook has a feature that lets you request for the removal of a deceased person’s Facebook account. However, to get this done, there are certain things you need to do before Facebook can help you get rid of the account of a deceased person from the giant social networking site.

Yes, Facebook needs that you provide a document to show that you’re related to the deceased person in question. Facebook requires you to give a scan or photo of your loved one’s death certificate. Doing that will enable Facebook to process your request fast. See: Where is my Blocked List on Facebook
Alternatively, you’ll need to present proof of authority and proof that your loved one has passed away. That is if you don’t have your loved one’s death certificate.
– Power of attorney
– Birth certificate
– Last will and testament
– Estate letter
Submit one document to provide proof that your loved one has passed away:
– Obituary
– Memorial card
Bear in that the information on the documentation you provide must match the information on your loved one’s account. When submitting documentation, you’ll need to cover up any personal information Facebook does not want to fulfill your request. A typical example is a Social Security number.
Once you have any of the specified documents, you’ll need to contact Facebook. You can click here to contact Facebook or continue with the below guideline to request for the removal of a deceased person’s account.
