Give the account a memorial status.
Delete the account.

Memorial status:
The account, along with the photos and messages, remains visible within the persons circle of friends.
It is no longer possible to change, add or remove any content.
No new friendships can be made.
The Facebook prole no longer appears in friend suggestions.
Depending on your privacy settings, your friends can post messages on your timeline.
Condential information like contact details and status updates are removed from your prole.
Delete an account
When a Facebook account is deleted after the users death, the entire account is removed. This means all information
such as photos, status updates and friendships are removed. The account is no longer visible to anyone.
