Why you can start planning your legacy today

1 min. reading time 17 September 2024

You probably make all sorts of plans for the future, but how often do you think about how you want to arrange your legacy? Many people only start thinking about this when someone close to them passes away. That moment brings the realisation: how do I want to be remembered, and who makes sure my wishes are respected? But it does not have to go that way. You can start with this at any time.

You insure your home, your car and your health. You do that because you know things can always change. Those insurance policies give you peace of mind. In the same way, you can arrange your legacy: not because you have to, but because it gives you calm.

Why start arranging your legacy now?

There are several reasons to think about this today:

Take care of your loved ones. Arranging your legacy well takes a burden off your loved ones' shoulders. By recording your wishes clearly, you give them the space to focus on the farewell.

Certainty about your wishes. How do you want your funeral to go? Who should be there? Which music do you want played? By thinking about these questions now, you ensure your personal wishes are respected.

Financial legacy. Not just your funeral, but also your financial and practical affairs are important to have in order. Think of subscriptions, balances and outstanding bills. Recording these details prevents your loved ones from overlooking important matters.

It saves time. Funeral directors often say the most time-consuming part of arranging a funeral is figuring out who should be there and how to reach them. With the myGoodbye app, you can arrange this by recording the right contacts, along with their most current details.
