Part 3 - How much is customary to pay for an Honorarium? Ultimately, it depends on your preferences and budget. For an officiant, the average range is somewhere between $100 to $300. When determining the amount, consider how much time they spent: 1) getting details and preferences from the family, 2) planning their remarks, 3) traveling 4) attending any services. And of course, did they do a good job? That matters, too. For a soloist or musician, the average range is somewhere between $50 to $100 per person. However, consider whether they are a volunteer or a paid performer. If the church’s organist volunteers to play at the service, offer an honorarium. On the other hand, if you want to personalize the service by bringing in your loved one’s favorite local band, they will receive payment for their services, not an honorarium. Please note, some churches or clergy have stated fees for officiating a funeral service, but they should be upfront about these fees when you meet to discuss the service. #honorariumfacts #optional #services #discuss #volunteers #bestpractices #resthavenfuneralhome
