It depends on what you have done.
There is a VISUAL necropsy, which is more or less a physical examination.
Then there is the pathology portion of the necropsy, where tissue samples are taken and later examined.
Neither is mandatory; some folks opt for just the visual portion as it is less expensive but the results are often not conclusive, esp. in the case of sudden illness resulting in death or an unexpected death.
Fees will likely vary from city to city and state to state.
I try to update w/ a cost from my vet once I locate Beetle's paperwork from August. I know that saved everything but I likely hid it away from myself
