How Much Money Does a Death Doula Make?

Death doulas may set an hourly rate, a per service rate or a per package rate. The average hourly rate for consultation-like death doula services—legacy review projects, advanced care directive writing, vigil planning—is around $100 to $200 per hour. Usually, doulas require a minimum number of hours with that fee (typically two to four hours, depending on the service.). If the service is more like elder care support, respite care services, or sitting at the bedside to offer a client comfort, the per hour charge is typically between $25 and $50 per hour. When charging per service, end-of-life doula fees for advanced care directive planning or vigil planning range from $250 to $500, on average. For legacy work, the per service charge may range from $250 to $1,000, depending on the time and complexity of the project and support being offered. For a living funeral, you might charge anywhere from $750 to $2,000, depending on the planning involved and size of the event. Average rates for active vigil planning and support (meaning the doula will be sitting at the bedside of the client either almost around the clock or for a set number of hours per day or night) range from $1,000 to $4,000.

What Does a Death Doula Do?

A death doula, also known as an end-of-life doula, is a support person who provides nonjudgmental, non-medical holistic support to those nearing the end of life. A death doula also typically offers support to the friends and family of the elderly, dying, or recently dead.
