What happens to your facebook account after you die?
Are your family allowed to hack it and close it down, or at least write something about your passing?

If you come to know that you are going to die due to some desease then you can delete your account.
But your family members can delete your account if they have your personal details.

nothing its like not logging in for 2 or three days. Your family cant hack it unless they have your password

You are thinking about so far

If you are knowingly ill, you can deactivate it before you die. If one dies suddenly your parents can remove the account if they have your account details. Alternatively, you can contact Facebook and ask for the account to be closed if you are a family member.

Your account will be (upon application by a friend or family) changed into a memorial page
