Some faiths require a quick burial such as jews and some sects of islam. Some native tribes as well. In my community burials were usually done quickly simply because we bury differently than most people in the US and legal reasons in our state meant we had limited time.

@Wishingwellguy I don't know in the UK but one the US most funeral homes and services have a policy of asking the family what timing they want.

@Wishingwellguy Yes, I know. Just saying that here the family has full control. I don't know why UK law would allow families to have ty.i await.

Control freaks, it's a hierarchical system of control and submission.

In the uk , family’s are waiting for sometimes 10 days to have a funeral of a loved one , because priority is give to someone who’s faith states that they must be put to rest in an certain time period, as it conditional to there faith, even bribing the funeral industry ans local authorities or treats are made @NiftyWhite]

If you live in the USA it’s a common problem too , especially state funerals, when families claim poverty just to get a reduced rate pubic funeral
