Wainscott was home to the last public one-room schoolhouse operating in New York until an annex was built in 2008.
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 costs of the unusual vehicles vary depending on what is chosen â often hired from third party providers â and the distance it will travel, Co-operative Funeralcare said. The vehicles typically cost between Â£700 and Â£950, against Â£350 for a traditional hearse. The soaring costs of funerals has led to an surge in the number of companies marketing pre-paid funeral plans, with the Post Office being the latest entrant to the market earlier this month.
