Remembering Mashal Khan: Facebook creates Memorialised Account for friends, family to share memories

In a tribute to Mashal Khan, Facebook has put a ‘Memorialised Account’ status which according to Facebook is “a place for friends and family to gather and share memories after a person has passed away.”

This update is usually provided to a person who suddenly passed away in accident or a disease and his/her friends come on his FB account to pay their tributes and share their mutual memories with the diseased.

The ‘Memorialised Account’ cannot be logged on by anyone else as word ‘Remembering’ will be shown next to the person's name on their profile.
