This chapter provides an overview of digital ethnographic approaches to online commemorations for research this field.

• This research has been concerned with how the dead continue to persist and participate within the platforms and protocols of social media( Brubaker and Hayes  2011; Karppi 2013; Marwick and Ellison 2012; Stokes 2012) .113

For our current research project in this field, we began with a series of informal conversations  (for example, during participant observation at large industry events such as International  Expos in the US, UK, and Australia for people working in or providing for the funeral  industry) . 
These were then followed by semi-structured interviews with those working with  new technologies in the funeral industry: funeral directors, funeral home owners, funeral cel- ebrants, cemetery and crematorium workers, technology entrepreneurs and innovators,and  activists wishing to subvert " death denial" in groups such as " Death Salon. The interviews, mostly conducted " face-to-face" on Skype, sought to understand the changes in the profes- sional and industrial field, the values that professionals brought to bear in their dealings with  and memorialization, and the visions of the future that these entail.

2)data collection and analysis
Users of digital commemoration services provide another avenue to understanding what is  at stake in online forms of memorialization and post-mortem sociality. A common method- ological approach in this area has been data collection and analysis of public statements(such  as posts on social media, and comments on websites) , which we have similarly undertaken, though we have also begun interviewing people to explore in a different way how individ- uals reflect upon their experiences with digital commemoration, their motivations in using  online memorials, and the ways that they maintain relationships with the deceased and the  broader community. Identifying and contacting the bereaved poses ethical questions about  the risks of research participation, as well as disciplinary debates about how purposive such  contact should be.

While digital platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube extend the possibilities for memorialization through multimedia compositions, graphing social relationships 
and cloud storage, they simultaneously challenge that commemoration: through dispersing 
authorship among myriad users, through ranking contributions according to opaque algorithms, and through their mapping of social connections in a much more explicit way than 
has historically been possible.

people with social media profiles die, the profiles that they leave behind and the way that their loved ones engage with them challenge researchers to account for changes in practices of commemoration, caring, 
and communication.

digital memorialization is fragmented across different platforms

The emerging practices of online commemoration have a great deal to say about contemporary 
relationships with death. 

New technological advances have made it possible to maintain technologically mediated relationships with and through the dead, to mourn and memorialize people in virtual environments, and pass on rich digital legacies. 

The rich field of online memorialization gives us clues about what it means to live and die at this point in time.
