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.
Generally, the average cost of cremation when using a funeral home is between $2,000 and $4,000. However, if these services are handled directly by a crematory, the average cost typically runs between $1,500 and $3,000. Note that these prices include the cost of the cremation as well as a basic memorial service.
