Passing on your values beyond your lifetime: Considering a legacy or a final act or a final act of solidarity

May 2025

Writing a will is much more than an administrative process. It is a way to ensure that your convictions live on, even after your passing. By supporting a charitable cause like the Restos du Cœur of Belgium, everyone can make a lasting gesture that continues his or her commitment to a fairer world.

A legacy that changes lives

Every day, the Restos du Cœur of Belgium take concrete action against poverty and exclusion. Thanks to donations, we provide far more than just meals. We offer comprehensive support to thousands of people in need.

By leaving part of your estate to our organisation, you help ensure that these actions can continue. No matter the amount, every legacy matters. You can easily name the Resto du Cœur of Belgium Federation as a beneficiary in your will ever so easily.

You can find all the necessary information on this approach on our dedicated page:

"No flowers, no wreaths:" A final wish rooted in solidarity

Some individuals express the wish during their lifetime that their funeral be an occasion to support a cause close to their heart. Instead of flowers, they ask their loved ones to make a donation to a charity.

This gesture, often summed up by the phrase “no flowers, no wreaths”, is a meaningful way to add purpose to a farewell. It allows solidarity to be expressed even in the final tribute while honouring the values of the person who has passed away.

If this is something you wish to do, we encourage you to discuss it with your loved ones or specify it in your advance directives. You can also contact our team to arrange a tribute in your name or that of a loved one.
