How do we make the prescribed supplication when there is more than one funeral?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: In the funeral prayer, there are men, women, and children. How do we make the supplication narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in this situation? You supplicate for the adults with forgiveness and the supplication reported regarding adults: "O Allah, forgive them, have mercy on them, grant them well-being, pardon them, and protect them from the punishment of the grave. Widen their entrance..."

Answer:
...with water, snow, and hail. Purify them from their sins and errors as a white garment is purified from dirt. O Allah, replace their home with a better home, and their family with a better family. Then you supplicate for the children: "O Allah, forgive the parents of these children, make them a weight in their scales, and make their rewards great through them. Make them a vanguard and intercessors whose intercession is accepted. Place them under the protection of Ibrahim. Above them is the punishment of the Hellfire." So you supplicate for the adults and you supplicate for the children. Each one has a reported supplication for them, and you bring it in your prayer. Yes.
