Who conducts the Jehovah's Witness funeral service?

Explanation:
Jehovah's Witness funeral services are led by an elder of the congregation. In this practice there is no paid clergy or designated preacher; the local body of elders oversees funeral arrangements and conducts the service. The gathering typically includes prayers, scripture readings, and a brief, Bible-centered talk about the deceased and Jehovah’s promises, all guided by the elder to keep the service aligned with JW beliefs. Choosing an Imam, Pastor, or Deacon would align with other faith traditions, not with Jehovah's Witness funeral practice.
