What Kind of Legacy Do You Want to Leave?
Published on Wed Apr 9 2025 in Lifestyle
When we think about legacy, we often picture large-scale impact—charities in our name, buildings with plaques, or stories etched in history. But for most of us, legacy is something quieter, deeply personal. It's the imprint we leave on the hearts of those who matter most.
At Momentum Life, we believe that legacy is built not only through grand gestures but also through the small, meaningful choices we make—like planning ahead to ease the future burden on our loved ones.
💬 Legacy Is More Than Money—It’s Meaning
Leaving a legacy can be about the values we pass down, the traditions we uphold, the kindness we show, and yes, the practical steps we take to protect our family.
Consider writing down your life lessons or family stories in a memory journal - Storyworth is a great tool for this. You could also create a digital family tree using platforms like Ancestry.com.
💸 The Financial Legacy
One of the most tangible legacies is how we prepare financially. Funeral costs in New Zealand can be exorbitant, depending on your preferences. Leaving that burden to your family can be overwhelming during an already emotional time.
That’s why many Kiwis are turning to funeral insurance. It offers peace of mind, knowing your family won’t have to cover costs out-of-pocket or dip into savings to give you the farewell you deserve.
At Momentum Life, our Funeral Insurance is easy to apply for online, with no medicals or paperwork needed, and guaranteed acceptance for New Zealanders aged 40–75.
🌿 Legacy Through Simplicity
Legacy doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes, it’s as simple as having your affairs in order. A few thoughtful ways to prepare:
• Create a will – Get a discounted one via Public Trust upon purchase of Momentum Life’s funeral insurance
• Choose an enduring power of attorney: Also available via Public Trust
• Share your funeral wishes: Whether it’s a traditional service or a natural burial, let your loved ones know your preferences.
💛 Your Legacy, Your Way
Legacy isn’t reserved for the famous. It’s about love, intention, and making thoughtful decisions now to ease the journey for those we leave behind.
With Momentum Life, you can protect your family’s future while ensuring your final wishes are honoured—without placing a financial burden on the ones you love most.
