Forming a new topic because I am kind of pressed for time on an answer!

What is the usual offering amount [$] given to the priest, by the family, when the 40 days memorial service is said, if any?

The answer likely varies by jurisdiction, and might have to take into account how elaborate the service is.

If the service occurs before or after a parish Divine Liturgy, the cost is less in my BCC parish, only $10, and does not require compensation for other servers.

If, however, the service occurs outside a regular parish service, there might also be stipends needed for the cantor or choir director if they are to be part of the service, possibly others.

The priest will know what fees apply.
