Facebook has introduced yet another feature for its users. Tributes section will appear on the memorialized accounts where users will be able "to share memories after a person has passed away.".
Friends will still be allowed to post on the timeline or comment on the posts made by the account holder before death, as per the settings of the memorialized accounts. These accounts cannot be logged in once the account is memorialized and thus the posts made after that will automatically be part of the Tribute section.
Facebook allows accounts to add “Legacy accounts”, which will be given a little control over account once the person dies. The accounts who have set legacy accounts were notified by the Facebook about the Tribute feature.
Whereas legacy contacts will still not be able to delete or ad friends, log into an account or read the private messages.
