I preferred to share it with a few trusted people so they can change my online profiles to something "permanent" when the inevitable comes.
I also share a preferred playlist for the goodbye ceremony :) Probably will keep adding perks there.
It's very sad when you see an update for example on LinkedIn saying "congratulate X for his one year anniversary". No, he's not working anymore, he's dead.
- nilleo 7y agoIt's a crappy situation, but if you do ever see a LinkedIn update like that for a deceased member, they're actually pretty quick at getting the profile taken down when you contact them about it. Source: did this for a deceased member in my network shortly after getting an update like that. A human responded and took action the same day after I reached out. https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/2842/deceased-linkedin-member-removing-profile?lang=en https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/2842/deceased-...

- fouc 7y agoPersonally I'd just take it as a chance to remember that person instead of making it even easier to forget about them.
- wyldfire 7y agoI guess I'm just being cynical but LinkedIn's [real] customers are being served by the swiftness of response -- the deceased persons cannot respond to their solicitations for job applicants.
- lighttower 7y agoI still call the voicemail of my deceased family member from time to time to hear their voice. Can't delete them from my contact list
- sparky_z 7y agoI would suggest recording one of those calls. There's no telling how long that voicemail will remain active.
- duxup 7y agoMy grandfather is still in my contact list... just can't bring myself to remove him.
