    I also noticed that people were creating a kind of (with all due respect) circlejerk of grief that stretched beyond what I think is a healthy grieving period. In fact, I think that having his page up probably made it harder to deal with his death in a similar way that breaking up with someone can be harder if you're friends on facebook.

Yeah, but what do you do as the parents/spouse/children? Go through the trouble of contacting Facebook and taking it down? That seems to prolong the agony, as it were.
