Get paid up front the all funerals and weddings In our area, the funeral homes pay the organist as part of the "package" the family of the deceased pays. Out of $10,000 or so that is costs for burial costs, etc, churches should be working out something with the funeral homes to have the organist and Pastor included - I think the families presume that is happening - they can't be thinking of so many details if they are grieving!
