Yes I would. There are a lot of people on my friends list (ie those I went to school with years ago) who I wouldn't get any notice they are dead without facebook telling me. I think of one person who died in a motercycle accident, if it wasn't for facebook I wouldn't know the difference between dead and just quit showing up in my feed. It doesn't matter in the long run as we never were more than classmates, but I'm still glad I know.

The knowledge that someone is dead isn't very sensitive. I still control how much facebook knows about me, but some information is worth giving facebook because they will let my friends know.
