Deactivating
Facebook gives you 2 choices: two options: deactivate or erase
The initial couldn't be easier. On the desktop, click the drop-down menu at the top-right of your screen and select settings.

Facebook does not take this lightly - it'll do whatever it could to maintain you about, including psychological blackmail regarding just how much your friends will miss you.
As such, "Deactivation" is not the like leaving Facebook.

If a customer has passed away, a legacy contact-- a Facebook friend or family member that was designated by the account proprietor before they passed away-- can get accessibility to that individual's timeline, once accepted by Facebook. The heritage call may have to provide a link to an obituary or various other documents such as a death certification.
