I want to share something important that most people never think about until it’s too late. When a family member or friend passes away, their LinkedIn profile can keep showing up like they’re still alive. They might still get connection requests, messages, or those annoying “work anniversary” reminders. That can be really painful for the family. Good news: LinkedIn lets you turn the profile into a memorial. It stays up as a nice tribute to their work and achievements, but it gets locked. No one can log in, no new messages, and it shows “In Remembrance” next to their name. It stops all the awkward notifications. Here’s the simple truth: - Anyone (family, friend, or colleague) can report the passing to LinkedIn. You don’t need to be the executor. - Just go to LinkedIn Help and look up “Deceased LinkedIn member” or “memorialize account.” - You’ll need the person’s full name, the link to their profile, their email if you know it, the date they passed, and a link to an obituary if you have one. If you’re the spouse, executor, or legally in charge, you have even more options — you can ask to fully close the account if that feels right. My advice to you: 1. If someone close to you passes, take care of this soon so the family doesn’t keep getting reminded in a hard way. 2. While you’re still here, talk to your family about what you want. Tell them: “If something happens to me, please memorialize my LinkedIn so my work still lives on.” 3. Add it to your will or digital plan — most people forget about LinkedIn. Taking 10 minutes to do this is an act of kindness for the people left behind. If you’re going through this right now and need help figuring out the form, just reply here or message me. I’m happy to walk you through it. Let’s look out for each other. What do you think — have you ever seen an active LinkedIn profile of someone who passed? Drop a comment. Here is one I came across just now. https://www.linkedin.com/in/goldberg99m/
