As the master of ceremony it is your duty to keep the program running smoothly. You will introduce those who will sing and say words of tribute at the funeral.
The secondary slang meaning of "mistress" is so prevalent, that you'd say neither. You say, "And here are our emcees, Jane and Sally!" or "Here is our emcee, Jane!" "emcee" is "MC", which stands for Mistress of Ceremonies as easily as it does for Master of Ceremonies.

As odd as it may sound to anyone with a dirty mind, the feminine form of "master" is "mistress". Therefore, the proper title would likely be "Mistress of Ceremonies".Alternate answer:Many will object to the use of either 'master' or 'mistress' as being sexist terminology. 'Madame of Ceremonies' just doesn't cut it; and 'Madam of Ceremonies' conjures up visions of whips, chains, and dungeons.The neutral term 'emcee' (derived from the initials M.C.) might be a better choice. Another possibility, although somewhat archaic, is 'interlocutor.' The Italian, 'madrina dell'evento' is still sexist, but could slip under the radar. 'Facilitator' and 'coordinator' sound a little bureaucratic, but would be appropriate in many circumstances. Perhaps, borrowing a term from TV news, 'anchor' would serve the purpose.I suggest the simple word, 'host' (and not 'hostess').
Usually, it is a show (or the show) presenter. On a stage or recorded TV programme, the person could be classed as the compere (The master of ceremonies,even the mistress of ceremonies).
