I think we need to think about this 2 different ways :
1 the acutal cost of the funeral itself. Cars, gas, burial, airline usage, etc.
and then personnel used, missed work, etc.
I found this site :
us.rediff.com...
While the cost of the entire security framework for the former president's funeral is several million dollars, the Friday holiday for government
departments will result in a loss of at least $423 million, reports the Los Angeles Times.
this site says [ A D.C. official told the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday that the district had already incurred $2.3 million in expenses for employees
in police, transit, public works, and other departments.]
