How much does a funeral singer cost?

A vocal performance at a funeral can be a fitting tribute for a departed loved one. The average cost for a funeral singer is $100/hour. The cost can be lower or higher depending on the experience and demand for the funeral singer. Prices may also vary between geographical locations.

Singers with little to no funeral experience may be cheaper. It is tempting to save money by trusting the the less experienced singers ability to perform in a melancholy environment. Singers with limited funeral experience may find their performances are degraded by their inability to cope with the inherent emotional environment. Check with your funeral home for a roster of experienced funeral singers.

As with any service it is always a good idea to check references. An experienced funeral singer can provide a list of funeral home references to call.

Make sure to discuss any language needs you may have. Request a live performance to evaluate the singers ability to sing any language not common to your geographic location.

Hopefully this advice helps you find the perfect singer for your funeral.
