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.
Once all funeral-related costs are factored in, the typical traditional funeral service will cost the average family closer to $8,000 â $10,000. But before we discuss specific funeral costs, we need to spend a few minutes discussing how the funeral industry works.
