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 cremation and basic memorial service through a funeral home is $2,000-$4,000. If you go directly through a crematory, that drops to $1,500-$3,000. The average burial and funeral, by contrast, runs around $6,500, or $7,700 with a burial vault. Many burials and funerals today reach over $10,000.
