Can anyone recommend me where I can find a cheap black suit (for funerals)? I was hoping for suitsupply.com but they didn't have it.

Check in shops until you find one.

Just wear a charcoal gray suit to funerals. Black is a waste of money IMO

If you're going to buy a suit at least buy one you can wear to more than just funerals.

I have absolutely no other need for a black suit except for this purpose. I tried eBay but it was slim pickings.

Perhaps it may be helpful to outline your budget; that way, it's easier to pick out a few options.

I was thinking about $200-350 if possible. But under $500 for sure.

I think that charcoal and navy are more versatile options that (at least in my opinion) are suitable for funerals.

That said, one can buy a wool suit at that price at just about any department store. It won't be a great suit, but if properly tailored, it will serve your purpose.
