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.
Total costs for a traditional full-service funeral package -- with a viewing or visitation, a formal funeral service, a hearse to transport the body, plus burial, entombment or cremation -- start around $6,000-$9,000 but can easily increase to $10,000-$15,000 or more, depending on what's included.
