Risk about Fidelius Charm

Hi there,

there's a thing that popped into my mind about what JK Rowling said
about what happens when the Secret Keeper dies.

So what if I go into hiding with the Fidelius Charm, and suddenly the
Secret Keeper dies... I won't be able to tell anyone about my
whereabouts, am I?

With the order it's somewhat different because - if I got that
correctly - Dumbledore was secret keeper for the order as such (ie not
for each person in it). So nobody can say "the headquarter of the
order is ...", but can say "I'll be at Weasley's tonight" even though
he's member of the order. But if Dumbledore had died accidentily while
Lily and James survived - would they have been able to tell about
their whereabouts ever again?

Or is the whole thing always bound to a certain place?
