No, the tax office only recognises funeral expenses up to a "reasonable amount".
Since 2003, a reasonableness limit of 7.500 Euro has applied. However, this limit should not prevent you from claiming your expenses in full and listing them individually.
If the estate is higher than the funeral expenses, a deduction is not possible. Payouts from a death benefit insurance policy also reduce the funeral expenses.
