Facebook To Launch Memorial Profiles of Deceased Users

This is a good solution to a question I have wondered about ever since I first started using social networks.  What happens to your profile when you die?  The friends and family of people who have passed will now be able to contact Facebook in order to have the deceased person's profile page memorialized.  Facebook will remove the person's status updates and contact info, but will leave photos, videos, profile info, and other media there for confirmed Facebook friends to see.  There is also a function that lets users put memorial posts onto the wall of the dead person's profile.  Check out the full article here.
