Having presided over a few of these and thus having had to deal with the "politics" of differing family desires, let me offer a suggestion if possible..
It is something very common around here. 2 services. One at either the church or funeral home chapel, the other graveside. If everyone is ok with 2 services - then the JW's can have one and the family can have one. The deceased's wishes are honored, and the family has a service that they can celebrate the life and memory of the deceased as well.
One other option is multiple services "indoors" as well.
