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 feel free to ask more questions!

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

Nothing.. The accounts are just gonna sit there. Forever. Pretty Much. Unless someone is posting on their account to scare someone.. But yea.. Nothing Is gonna happen to them. The accounts will sit there.. For the future.. and beyond.

"
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. "
