Death is unavoidably inevitable but we all seem reluctant to face the hard truth of this life. It is painful for close connections of a deceased person because it is hard to fill that vacant space in their lives.

Facebook is probably the most popular of all social network with appropriate options that allows a deceased person’s Facebook profile to be memorialized – the ones with Remembering written – after getting a request from a verified person.
