What happens to Memories I've marked as "Private" after I die?

Moulton Charles S

If I put several memories into FamilySearch to preserve them for my posterity, but I have marked them as "Private", and would like them to be changed to "Public" after I die, is there a way to make that happen, or are they permanently lost from public view in the event of my demise?

Short Answer: NO, System is Designed to keep Private any Memories designated by a Contributor as Private

Here is is a "Knowledge Article" in 'FamilySearch':

If the user has added private memories, those memories are not made public. The system is set to keep private any memories designated by a contributor as private.
