Someone who I went to high school with died (a few years ago), and for some reason they still have a facebook account.

And every year on their birthday I get a pop up that it's so and so's birthday today, and it weirds me out. Am I a total jerk if I unfriend this (not alive) person?

At what point after their death were you expecting them to delete their account? -- nm - Ender Dec 7, 09:15 5
- Within 30 days, I would think? - Subversive Dec 7, 09:17 4
  - There's a way to set up who can control your fb if you die. If you don't do that, it just goes on. I get a popup for my cousin's wife's birthday - jnine Dec 7, 11:41
  - With how much it's ingrained into our lives, it would surprise me if there wasn't a way for them to know in that time frame. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 7, 09:19 2
    - To be clear, I was joking about the 30 days. - Subversive Dec 7, 10:28
    - you have to notify FB with a link to an obituary, etc. Then they "memorialize" it. -- nm - Andie Dec 7, 09:20
No, I don't think so. If you hide them from your feed, do they still show up in the Events/Birthdays? -- nm - JaxSean Dec 7, 09:14
