Hi all,
I have had to deal with singing for funerals and contracting musicians for funerals for many years.
It is my experience that most, not all, funeral homes will factor in the cost for musicians into their funeral expenses for the family. This means that all expenses are paid directly to the funeral home from the family and the funeral home cuts the check. The check is then payable to the musician at the service by the funeral home director.
This is a very effective method. If this tradition isn't currently set up in your location, then sitting down with funeral directors in your area would most likely accomplish this task.
Best Wishes, Barbara Pinto-Choate
