? for Pastors and Ministers

[Esther]

When as a pastor/minister you officate at a wedding or funeral is it a custom to pay an honorium or fee?

OR do you have a set fee for these services?

And IF the person no longer goes to your church and say they wanted you to do a family members funeral would you charge the same thing as a member IF you do indeed charge.

Also, assuming there is a fee or honorium what would be the average fee that would be approriate?

Since my nephews have their mothers funeral today I got to thinking about this and would like to be prepared in the event I would need to know.

I believe a man is worthy of his hire, so please don't look as this as trying to find fault, because that is NOT what this is about.

I would like to do what is considered right.

Thanks for responding.

Also, might be interesting to see if the different areas of the states or the same or different.
