Now in my 46th year of full time work - lost track of how many weddings and funerals I've done. I was paid well by the local congregation, so didn't need to ask for compensation. One the average, I've been pain about $100 - $150. In recent years (inflation) a bit more, esp if the service was someone not a member of our congregation. Once was flown to another state AND paid well for my time (a very well to do family I know personally. On another occasion, I was given a $300 gift card. Excellent advice - great audio lesson! I totally agree with your assessment. Thanks for breaching a touchy topic. - Ray Wallace, Pine Valley church, Bayfield, CO
