memorializing the dead
obituaries present the deceased in a positive light
relative to contemporary norms
{ Hume, J. Obituaries in American Culture. 2000. }
“storying” the identity of the deceased enables
survivors to find meaning in loss
{ Harvey, J. H. et al. Embracing their memory. 2001. }
conflicting stories of the deceased can result in
“postmortem identity-contests”
{ Martin, D. D. Identity Management of the Dead. 2010. }
memorializing the dead (online)
{ Roberts, P. & Vidal, L. Perpetual care in
cyberspace. 2000.
Roberts, P. The living and the dead. 2004.
Roberts, P. & Schall, D. “Hey Dad, its me again…”
2005. }

I remember in 8th grade, with Mrs. DeWerff's
science class. We had to do measurements on a
bicycle tire, and we couldn't figure it out... We
measured it 3 different ways... Needless to say-
we were wrong. Haha. :// Liz
i wish you could have met my baby nephew. he's
beautiful. i know you wanted to see him, but you
can see him now anytime you want from up
there! :// Rebecca
Hope everything is going well up there…

expanding death into
the everyday
12
spatial social temporal
{ Brubaker, Hayes & Dourish. Beyond the Grave: Facebook as a site for
the expansion of death and mourning. The Information Society, 2013. }
More “friends” will
survive our deaths than any
previous generation.

[I]t would help us each know the Mike that the other
one knew. Like I know the high school Mike.
I would love to know what the college Mike was
like and the after college Mike was like.
:// Laura
I actually got to know her diving friends... Those
are people that I never had a chance to meet….
:// Nina
15
But I think that after I let time go by, I would
shut down the Wall, even if people were irritated
by it... it’s just like after a certain point like death
isn’t public property anymore. You have to let it
just [be] with the family.
:// Catherine
Who ever is running Tony’s profile now… plz
NEVER delete it.
:// Post from MySpace
18
key thoughts
Social media is increasing exposure to
death and grief.
New types of “friends” results in new types
of loss.
Online profiles, networks, and digital
content present new challenges for the
bereaved
19

3
practical strategies
Create a separate Facebook Group in
addition to the profile.
Often someone other than the next-of-kin is
better positioned to steward the profile.
Be careful. Many actions are
technologically irreversible.
