Abstract
Facebook memorials are an embodiment of the way that American grief has evolved in the previous twenty-five years.

The memorials allow each mourner to enshrine their own relationship with the deceased, and to do so on their own schedule. However, this move away from private mourning contains deep contradictions which carry the potential for complications in the grieving process — or even painful ruptures within communities of mourners.
