Typical costs: Charges for the use of a hearse (also called a funeral coach) vary from $150-$400 or more, depending on local rates, distance traveled and hours used. If a lead vehicle is included, it can add $45-$200. A van or other utility vehicle to carry the funeral flowers can cost $55-$250.
The average cost of a funeral has been surveyed at $8,350 by the Cremation Association of North America (CANA), and $7,045 by the National Funeral Directors Association (NFDA). This cost does not include any cemetery fees, so the full cost for a funeral is likely to be nearer $10,000.
