I hope you can sort something to suit everyone Pebbles as it is such a difficult time. I don't want to pry into your arrangements so don't worry about responding but there is one more thing that I want to tell you about the online coverage.
The two funerals in our family were both Crematorium services only. Apparently the Crems do vary about people going to the front to read.
At my cousin's service two people read - one a reading and one a poem - but they were not allowed to go to the front and just stood up wherever they were seated. There was no microphone cover so we couldn't hear either of them.
We could hear the music and the minister with no problem.
The other Crem allowed anyone reading to go to the lectern to read a poem so we heard every word of that service.
We have also 'attended' a streamed service in a Church and microphone cover was fine so it varies from place to place.
It may well be worth you checking with the Funeral Director that anyone reading anything will either be able to come to the lectern or have microphone cover.
We don't realise these things until they happen!
Please take care of yourselves
