Privacy depends on the family situation
Some families want a public memorial so old friends, classmates, neighbors, and distant relatives can find the page and leave words of remembrance. Other families want a quiet space only for close relatives. Both choices can be respectful.
Think before publishing broadly
Review the person's photos, full name, dates, biography, and family details before making a memorial public. If the page includes sensitive information, choose a more private setting and share the link only with trusted people.
Use permissions as the memorial grows
A memorial can begin privately while the family gathers information. Later, the family can decide whether to open it more widely. The best setting is the one that protects dignity and makes relatives comfortable.
