Ah, Christmas in New Zealand! The sun is shining, the BBQ is sizzling, and the pōhutukawa trees are blooming in full festive flair. While the rest of the world is bundling up in scarves and gloves, we’re slipping on jandals and heading to the beach. There’s nothing quite like a Kiwi Christmas.

It’s the season for laughter, family, and making memories that last a lifetime. And while the holiday spirit is about living in the moment, it’s also a great time to think about the big picture—like ensuring your family is looked after, no matter what the future holds. That’s where funeral insurance comes in (yep, we went there—but stick with us).

Planning Ahead—Not Just for Christmas Lunch

We know it’s a bit of an unusual topic for the festive season but hear us out. Funeral insurance is like a gift to your family that they don’t even realise  they need yet. It’s a way to make sure your loved ones won’t have to stress about finances when the time comes to say goodbye. Instead, they can focus on celebrating your life—maybe even with a backyard BBQ in your honour!

Why Now?

Christmas is all about family, and there’s no better time to think about how you can take care of them. Whether you’re enjoying a pavlova piled high with summer berries or playing a friendly (but competitive) game of backyard cricket, it’s the perfect reminder of what matters most.

Funeral insurance is a way to show your love in a practical, thoughtful way. It’s a simple plan that can cover the costs of your final farewell, easing the burden on your family during what will already be a tough time.

A Thoughtful Gift That Lasts

While everyone else is unwrapping socks and bath sets, you’ll have peace of mind knowing you’ve sorted something truly meaningful. Funeral insurance means your family won’t have to scramble to cover costs—it’s all taken care of. That’s a gift that keeps on giving, long after the Christmas crackers are pulled.

Celebrate Life This Christmas

So, as you enjoy the sunshine, laughter, and maybe one too many mince pies, take a moment to think about the legacy you’re creating. Funeral insurance might not be the flashiest topic, but it’s a way to leave your family with love and security when they need it most.

From all of us at Dollar Insurance, we wish you a Christmas filled with joy, relaxation, and plenty of time with the people you care about. Let’s make this summer season one to remember—for all the right reasons.

Merry Christmas, New Zealand! 🎄☀️
