Is it creepy to tag a dead person on Facebook? (Like they died very recently so his account is still there, and people are remembering him.) I guess it seems like a good way to post pictures for other people to remember him, but still seems creepy to tag a dead person in a post or to post on his wall.

Not creepy at all. Write on a good friend from elementary school's wall who passed away too young on his birthday every year.

I have someone lined up to update my status with a list of all the people I hate and post message on several walls talking crap on on people. As soon as I day my FB is going to blow up.

It's a little weird when games like WWF or Scramble recommend that I play someone who passed very recently. Tagging them in a memorial is fine though.

i've thought about this recently myself. i think the page should stay active, so people can look at it when they like. but i understand that other people think it's weird.

This could start a new trend in wills and estate planning. Very forward-looking.

Kinda annoys me when people who barely knew someone who died comment on the wall of the deceased about how they were such good friends and had many great memories together and blah blah blah. Seems like they're trying to make themselves look a lot more caring and friendly than they ever were while that person was alive.

Pretty sure all of the ladies 1bw and fanning have tried to bangwithfriends have faked their deaths

AST · « **Reply #14 on:** February 18, 2013, 06:40:30 PM »

maybe this is the wrong place for this but here goes

what about flowers on the side of the road

I mean sure it's cool for awhile but there's a place 1 block away from me that get's new flowers and wreaths about every 3 months, for the past 4 years

I mean isn't that what a cemetery is for

if everybody did this it would be like driving through a cemetery all the dang time

pretty morose people, stop being so selfish and put memorials where they're supposed to go

steve dave · « **Reply #15 on:** February 18, 2013, 06:42:51 PM »

Let people remember people however they want. It's not hurting you.

AST · « **Reply #16 on:** February 18, 2013, 06:48:43 PM »

you say that until someone crashes and dies in your neighborhood or your yard and then for the next four years & counting you get to look at fake flowers, mardi gras beads & plastic wreaths tastefully adorning the yard

AbeFroman · « **Reply #17 on:** February 18, 2013, 06:51:55 PM »

I'm pretty sure if someone I loved died in a car wreck I'd avoid that stretch of road for the rest of my life.

OK so what about when the dead person starts posting on Facebook? Is that weird?

I think it is. The owner of a gym I used to go to in Omaha died a while back and someone brought his page "back to life" and even added being "in a relationship". This status was put up when they started posting again, "Some mother rough rider tried to delete me and all my friends. Im Rock Hard (insert name here) and I aint going anywhere. If you have any photos of me would you please tag me in them so we can keep the my Legacy alive. Ill be looking over all you turds."

That's weird.

steve dave · « **Reply #20 on:** May 29, 2013, 08:24:23 AM »

yeah, that's def. weird

OK that's much more weird than the dead guy I am friends with who RSVPd to a facebook event and commented on a mutual friend's video.

This recently happened to me. I believe the mom took over his account. They'd post inspirational sayings that he use to say at family get togethers and a lot of photos from his childhood have been uploaded recently.

Side note: I recently unfollowed him on twitter. Dick move? I was afraid he'd tweet from the grave.
