According to documents obtained by Cogeco Nouvelles, the final tally of René Angelil's funeral came in at $700,000 - roughly 10 times the amount such events usually cost.
The Quebec government says it will contribute $49,770 to the reported cost of René Angélil funeral in Montreal last January.
The production house owned by Dion and Angélil would not confirm or deny the funeral costs.
No contract was signed between the two parties and neither side would say if a financing agreement had been reached in advance.
Angelil, Dion's longtime manager, died Jan. 14 of throat cancer in Las Vegas at the age of 73.
