(UNDATED) - Facebook rolled out a new feature Thursday that allows users to control what happens to their accounts after they die.
Users can now designate a specific Facebook friend -- called a legacy contact -- to manage the account after they're gone.
Legacy contacts can be managed under a user's security setting.
The legacy contacts can pin posts, manage friend requests and even change profile and header pictures.
Facebook already has a system in place to "memorialize" accounts after users die, but now after the site verifies a user is dead, it will place "Remembering" above the users' profile name.
