I am writing this because “vypravit pohřeb’ is indeed ‘to arrange for the funeral’, but due to the actual context and the location in America in 1875, and your question if the owner actually had also paid for it, I am led to believe that the families of the killed people would be greatly burdened by these expenses as they were ‘working class’, and certainly there were no social agencies to help with this (other than charities) because there are none today.
In Czech Republic laws, there is today a distinction between ‘vypravit’ a ‘platit pohřebné’ in many cases, however.
