The faster you bury the dead, the more dignified it is. Even the popular claim of 24 hours is too long. Dead in the evening? Bury *before* dawn and don't wait for the daylight to break or to arrange a larger funeral [ জানাজা ]। Again, don't just leave the dead laying at any state and wait for anything. Continue your work to bury him non-stop and bury as soon as those works are done.
Watching those "honorable persons" getting their funeral and burring delayed by 3 days or weeks because so many people and the government *has to* show respect to their body?
That proves they are less dignified than the commons in the eye of God.
