Who was involved in the “Opening of the Mouth” ritual?

It is an Ancient Egyptian ritual performed on Kings and Pharaohs in Tutankhamun’s time. There was a “Sem Priest”, who was normally the son or relative of the deceased and a “Hery Heb” who was the lector priest, who wore the mask of Anubis.

But was there anyone else involved in the ceremony beside these two persons?

Thanking you in Advance.

   There appears to have been the sem priest, the lector priest, the imy-is priest, the follower-of-Horus priest, and two women who represented Isis and Nephthys.
