Information about burial insurance for diabetics
Can I get burial insurance if I’m a diabetic?
Yes you can get AFFORDABLE burial insurance if you are a diabetic. And qualifying for immediate coverage burial life insurance when you’re a diabetic, is easier to obtain than you think.
Here are some things to consider before you buy.
What type of life insurance is burial insurance for diabetics?
Burial insurance for diabetics is the same type of life insurance for someone who does not have a health history of diabetes. It has a death benefit amount usually between $2,000-$5,000 that does not require a physical medical exam that is used to cover burial, cremation or any other expenses that are left over when someone dies.
There are two types of final expense life insurance (also called burial or funeral life insurance). One that covers you for your whole life and the other that covers you only for a certain amount of time. I recommend whole life final expense insurance because death is not an “if” situation, it’s a ”when’.
Also, it is harder to qualify for term life insurance in general vs. whole life final expense insurance. Therefore, if you’ve been declined before because you are a diabetic with insurance carriers, no need to worry. We can help!

- What prescriptions have you been prescribed?
- Have you ever had an amputation due to diabetes?
- Have you ever had an insulin shock?
- Have you ever had a diabetic coma?
- What is your height and weight?
- Are you on insulin?

- Do you have retinopathy (eye disease due to diabetes)?
