When you Memoralise the account, it becomes frozen and only visible to the people in the owner’s friend list. After the account is memoralised nothing can be deleted or posted from the page.

Now Facebook has changed this, and allows users to nominate a legacy contact who can have access to the account after the death of user is notified. However the legacy contact will have limited access to the account.

They can pin a memorial message to the front page of the account. They can also grant a funeral details and can download personal data such as photos, friend lists and videos.
