A Instagram account after a death

Instagram can memorialize an account ('Remembering' badge, content stays visible but nobody can log in) or remove it entirely for verified immediate family.

Your options

Memorialize the account (content frozen, no logins)
Request removal by an immediate family member

What you will need

Proof of death for memorialization
Birth and death certificate plus proof of authority for removal

The official process

Platforms change their procedures regularly; always start from the official page:

Record your own wishes in advance

In Emberalis you set per account whether it should be memorialized, deleted, transferred or kept, and your emergency contacts get that list, together with this guide, when it matters.
