Seeking respectful insight on dua and incense in a play about a Muslim family

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. May you all be in good health and high spirits. I’m reaching out with genuine respect to ask a small question about dua, hoping for your guidance. I’m a researcher helping an Egyptian-American playwright develop a stage production about a Muslim household. In one scene, two siblings are about to make dua for their deceased father. On the stage, there’s a table where we’ve placed some lit incense and a book made to look like the Qur’an (we’d never use an actual mushaf on stage). My question is: in real life, would it be considered disrespectful if the incense was placed near that book on the same table? Or is it better to have the incense on a separate table? We really want to make sure we’re showing things correctly and with the utmost respect. JazakAllah khair for reading, and may your day be filled with blessings.
