It stays the same as it would be if that person was alive unless the family of that person ask facebook to delete it or unless they delete it themselves. I hope this was helpful Smile feel free to ask more questions!

It just stays there. You can post on their wall and tag them. But they're dead.

"
Facebook's policy on death is to turn the deceased user's profile into a memorial, "as a place where people can save and share their memories of those who've passed."[5] Memorializing of a profile involves: the deceased user no longer showing up in the "Suggestions" box on the right-hand side of the homepage; the privacy setting is altered so that only confirmed friends can view the profile and search for it; contact information & status updates are removed; no one is able to log into the account in the future.[6]
In order to memorialize deceased person's account, a special contact form must be filled out. In this contact from, a proof of death must be provided, such as an obituary or news article. Both family members and non-family members are allowed to submit this form. "
