1. Research what other hearses are selling for in your area and on websites that sell used hearses. Check the Kelly's Blue Book value for your particular make and model. Talk to funeral directors, or even churches or temples, to see if they can help you determine the value of your hearse.
2. Price your hearse according to your findings. If your hearse is in mint condition with all parts fully functioning, it may be in high demand and you can charge a premium. If your hearse has seen better days, then price it competitively.
