  We discuss semiclassical states in quantum gravity corresponding to
Schwarzschild as well as Reissner Nordstr\"om black holes. We show that reduced
quantisation of these models is equivalent to Wheeler-DeWitt quantisation with
a particular factor ordering. We then demonstrate how the entropy of black
holes can be consistently calculated from these states. While this leads to the
Bekenstein-Hawking entropy in the Schwarzschild and non-extreme
Reissner-Nordstr\"om cases, the entropy for the extreme Reissner-Nordstr\"om
case turns out to be zero.
