Talking about death is never easy. It’s uncomfortable, emotional and for many, it feels like a conversation best left for another day. But the truth is, avoiding the topic doesn’t protect the people you care about - it leaves them unprepared.

At MiWayLife, we believe it’s time to normalise conversations around funeral cover, because planning for death is one of the most caring things you can do for the people you love.

Let’s Talk About It

We plan for so many big life events - weddings, big birthdays, holidays and even retirement. These are all moments that involve preparation, budgeting and careful consideration. So why do we shy away from planning for one of the most inevitable events of all? Talking about funeral arrangements and having funeral cover in place is a responsible, practical and compassionate thing to do. It can also help reduce stress and prevents disagreements, especially during a time when your loved ones might already feel overwhelmed.

Remember, funeral cover isn’t just about your own peace of mind. It’s their to protect your family and the more we normalise it, the more empowered we become, so have that conversation. Ask all your questions, express all your wishes and share all your plans. You’ll also want to let your family know where you keep your documents and how they can access your policy if they ever need to.
