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.
However, depending on the products and services selected, and their quality, the average cost of a funeral may be below $5,000 or cost upwards of $20,000. Cemeteries, funeral homes, and other service providers expect full payment for their services by the time of the funeral.
