Meta’s New Legacy Contact Still Leaves Your Memories at Risk

Facebook’s enhanced Legacy Contact lets families pin a final post or manage comments after an account is memorialized—but it still lives within Meta’s ecosystem, bound by its ever-shifting policies and data-retention rules. If Meta decides to prune inactive pages, change its terms of service, or sunset certain features, your loved one’s digital footprint could vanish overnight. For a tribute that truly endures, you need a space you control from top to bottom.

At Legacy Projector, we create fully branded tribute microsites hosted on your own domain. Imagine a streamlined homepage with a hero banner featuring your loved one’s favorite photo, followed by interactive galleries organized by year or event—weddings, graduations, family vacations. Beneath each photo, you can add dates, locations and short anecdotes (“Summer 2018: Remember when Aunt Marie taught you to bake her famous apple pie?”) to bring memories to life.

We don’t stop at still images. Our video montages stitch together clips—perhaps a birthday toast, a graduation ceremony speech, or candid moments captured during road trips—set to your loved one’s go-to playlist. Visitors can press play and relive those moments in high definition. For an even richer experience, we embed audio players that let people hear voice notes, laughter at family gatherings, or messages recorded on special occasions.

To keep the site alive and growing, each microsite includes a secure submission portal. Friends and family can upload their own photos, scan old letters or share recorded memories—all of which are virus-scanned, tagged by contributor and backed up across multiple offsite servers. With password-protected sections, you decide which parts of the memorial are public and which stay private for close family members.

Because your tribute lives on independent, fully backed-up hosting, no algorithm change or platform shutdown can wipe it out. We provide a clear “care guide” document—step-by-step instructions for heirs on how to renew domain registration, update hosting credentials or decide when to retire the site. That way, generations to come will know exactly how to preserve or close the memorial.

Ready to build a lasting digital memorial that stands the test of time? Get in touch today and let Legacy Projector transform your scattered stories into a beautifully crafted tribute.
