Funeral benefits: Relieve family & arrange documents

How do you talk to relatives about your own burial?

Having a conversation about their own funeral is difficult for many — especially within the family — and yet it is a valuable step. Openness creates trust, prevents misunderstandings and enables your loved ones to respect your wishes.

Choose a quiet moment, talk honestly about your ideas and explain why regular retirement planning is important to you. Give space for questions, fears and even emotions — because such conversations are not only important from an organizational point of view, but also connect people.

The most important documents for emergencies

Anyone who takes timely precautions should not only consider their own funeral, but also prepare important documents. In an emergency, this ensures that everything is arranged according to your ideas — and your relatives receive noticeable relief during a difficult time.

Funeral pension contract
This document records your personal wishes for the subsequent burial. This includes choosing the form of burial (e.g. burial or cremation), the place of burial and financial security.

Precautionary power of attorney
With a pension power of attorney, you designate someone you trust who can make legally binding decisions on your behalf — for example with public authorities, banks or on medical issues.

Health care directive
Here you determine which medical measures are required in an emergency — and which are not. In this way, you retain your self-determination, even if you can no longer express what you want yourself.

will
A will governs how your estate is to be distributed. In this way, you avoid ambiguities or disputes between survivors and ensure that your assets are passed on as you wish.

It is best to store all documents in a central, easily accessible location — and inform your trusted persons where they can be found.

Regulate heirs correctly — with a clear will

A will ensures that your last will is respected and that your assets arrive exactly where you want them to be. Without a will, legal succession applies — possibly with consequences that are not in your interest. It is therefore important to take precautions in good time and to create clarity.
