This article summarizes some of the benefits of using Facebook to communicate a friend´s passing to others who may not be able to contribute in-person condolences. It also mentions whopassedon.com (no URL mention) as a better, richer alternative to creating an online memorial experience to Facebook, since whopassedon.com is a site specifically geared to creating online memorials. A posting to Facebook could be inappropriate, depending on the contacts the deceased has included as their "friends". The article also advises the Facebook friend to seek the permission of living family members before posting information on the death, or before creating a memorial page.
