Cyber Funeral: What It Is, How Do It, And Why It Affects Your Reputation
ReputationUP, a world leader company in Online Reputation, is a pioneer in using and employing the term cyber funeral, which is deeply explored in its most recent article published on the website.
The growing influence of the Internet in all areas of life leads us to consider innumerable concepts related to the online world. How to apply them even after death? If so, how can you maintain a good reputation and protect yourself from online defamation?
ReputationUP shows two different examples.
What is a cyber funeral?
The cyber funeral is the new opportunity that ReputationUP offers to deceased people, allowing them to obtain and maintain a positive reputation.
This service allows each individual to choose what reputation legacy associated with their name they wish to leave after death.
Our team is aware of the critical link between online reputation and the legacy of a person who has certain visibility. Not to mention that the online reputation always falls on the family and friends of the deceased.
ReputationUP is the only company in the world that offers this exclusive service.
Facebook’s cyber funeral
Facebook allows users to choose what will happen to their account after death.
An Oxford University analysis suggests that the accounts of deceased Facebook users could outnumber those of living profiles within fifty years.
The study proposes two scenarios:
- No new users have joined the social network as of 2018. And, by 2100, the number of dead profiles in Asia will reach about 44 %.
2. India (14.8 %), United States (8.2 %), Indonesia (5 %), and Brazil (4.6 %) are the countries with the highest rate of these accounts.
- The number of Facebook users grows at 13 % per year. In this case, Africa’s dead profiles will grow up to 36% by 2100. Under scenario 1, they only represent 9.8 %.
2. The assumption is that Asia becomes the continent with the highest rate (41 %) of deceased users.
The data per country will be as follows: India (15.9 %), Nigeria (6.4 %), Indonesia (4.5 %), and Pakistan (3.6 %).
Cyber funeral: how to do it?
Inappropriate or non-consensual posting can destroy the online reputation and have devastating effects on a person and family forever.
Although the GDPR guarantees the Right to be Forgotten, it presents itself as a complex mechanism to implement.
On the other hand, Google takes too long to analyze all data removal requests it receives and rejects them in many cases.
ReputationUP removes harmful, false, defamatory, and obsolete content that damages the reputation of users within such a legal framework.

ReputationUP, an international company with more than 20 years of experience, is the first to bet on this service.
- Whoever has made a mistake and paid the consequences must have a chance to exercise the Right to be Forgotten.
- The cyber funeral allows people who have certain online visibility to manage their reputation.
- Facebook is the only social network that enables users to decide what will happen to their account after death.
- Online reputation ensures one’s permanent prestige, which exceeds the limits of time.
