Once you have clicked the cancellation link, you may be asked why you are choosing to sever ties with the service.

No matter how you contact eharmony, make sure you include the email address associated with your account. Your refund may take ten days to process.
How to Delete a Deceased Loved One’s eharmony Account
Perhaps you are concerned about deleting your loved one’s online presence. No matter the circumstances, eharmony has an official policy for cancellation due to death or disability. Here are the steps for taking care of this task.
Step 1: Fill out the contact form on eharmony’s website.
Luckily, you can reach eharmony’s customer service department without logging into an account. This may benefit you if you don’t know your loved one’s login and password.
Fill out this contact form by explaining the situation. Include as much information as you can so your loved one’s account can be identified, especially their email address.
Step 2: Request to be relieved of the obligation to make payments on the account.
If your deceased loved one had a Premium Membership, their estate might be relieved of the obligation to make additional payments for services.
eharmony is not obligated to refund the estate the portion of the contract that the deceased used.
Deleting eharmony: Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have a specific question regarding your eharmony account? Here are some FAQs plus and their answers.
Can you cancel your eharmony account whenever you want?
Yes, you can cancel your eharmony account whenever you want, but you may still need to pay out the remainder of your contract.
For example, suppose you purchased a premium membership, which includes unlimited matches, enhanced search features, viewing photos of all your matches, and unlimited communication. In that case, you will be required to pay off the balance of your 6-, 12-, or 24-month plans.
The only way to cancel your eharmony account and receive a full refund is to contact the company within three business days of purchasing the service. Instructions for how to cancel your recently purchased membership may be found in the previous section of this article.
Can you get a refund after you cancel your eharmony account?
When you sign up for an account with eharmony, you are contractually obligated to pay for the entirety of the contract, no matter if you are using it or not.
Refunds are generally given if the user contacts the company within three days of purchasing the membership. Also, the estate of a deceased person may not be obligated to fulfill the contract.
Consider Your Loved One’s Digital Afterlife
There are many things to do when a loved one dies. While most checklists include such things as “call your loved one’s employer” and “cancel your loved one’s credit cards,” many families do not think about taking care of their loved one’s digital afterlife.
In most cases, subscription services that your loved one paid for will be automatically canceled when their credit card is no longer valid. Still, in the case of eharmony, the estate may be eligible to receive a partial refund for the amount of the contract that your loved one was not able to utilize.
