Overview Dutch
Funeral insurance
Planning your farewell ceremony, whether a funeral or a cremation, is personal and intimate. It is possible to record your wishes and ideas regarding your funeral or cremation in a statement. This can either be written by yourself or by a notary. This last will and testament must be signed and dated by you. If your wishes change in the course of time, you can always write a new declaration and revoke the previous one.
The decision to take out funeral insurance (Uitvaartverzekering) is voluntary and not required by law. If you do not have funeral insurance, your relatives will pay for the funeral or cremation. The municipality will cover the costs if there are no relatives, but they can then be deducted from your inheritance.
The tool is for Dutch citizens and expats new to the Netherlands and looking for suitable burial insurance.

Netherlands to Abolish Net Metering: Solar Industry in Turmoil
The announced abolition of the net metering scheme on 1 January 2027 in the Netherlands has caused significant upheaval in the solar industry. Manufacturers and installers of solar panels see their business models threatened, while supporters of the decision hope for a much-needed relief for the electricity grid. This article examines the net metering scheme's background, its abolition consequences, and the prospects for solar energy in the Netherlands.
Price Advantage Attracts: German Border Petrol Stations Experience Surge
Due to lower tax rates on fuel and tobacco in Germany, petrol stations near the border are witnessing a significant increase in customers from the Netherlands. This trend has far-reaching effects on local business and consumer behaviour.
Preservation of Net Metering Secures Future of Solar Panels
The controversial net metering regulation for solar panels, a central element in promoting renewable energies, will remain in place for the coming years. Despite plans by the caretaker cabinet to abolish this regulation, the Senate faction of GroenLinks-PvdA, with a decisive majority, has stood against the changes. This marks a significant victory for owners of solar panels and sends a strong signal in support of renewable energies.
