Long Weekend Road Trips and Life’s What-Ifs: Are You Covered?

Published on Fri May 30 2025 in Lifestyle

As we head into another long weekend, many New Zealanders will be packing the car, checking the weather, and setting off on road trips to enjoy time with loved ones. Whether it's a beach escape, a visit to the bach, or a scenic drive through the country, there's nothing quite like a Kiwi long weekend.

But while we plan for fun and relaxation, it's also worth sparing a moment to think about the unexpected.

Life Happens – Even on Long Weekends

Long weekends often come with increased traffic and, unfortunately, a higher risk of road accidents. While we always hope for safe journeys, it's a good reminder of how quickly life can change.

That’s where funeral insurance can help. At Momentum Life, we offer straightforward, reliable funeral cover that you can purchase online to give you and your whānau peace of mind—so if the unthinkable happens, your loved ones won’t be left worrying about funeral expenses during an already difficult time.

Why Funeral Insurance Matters

Funeral insurance is designed to provide a lump sum payout to help cover funeral costs, often within just a few days of a claim being accepted. It’s a small step that can make a big difference to your family’s financial and emotional wellbeing.

Enjoy the Weekend—Knowing You’re Covered

As you hit the road this long weekend, take a moment to reflect on your life planning. Funeral insurance might not be the first thing on your mind—but it could be one of the smartest things you do for your loved ones.

Get funeral cover now, and enjoy the long weekend with complete peace of mind.
