Best Answer

The deceased must be buried as soon as possible, preferably the same day as the day of death. The source for this halacha (law) is Dvarim (Deuteronomy) 21:23. Burial may delayed in some cases when it is for the honor of the dead such as close relatives having to come from a distance. Nevertheless, it should not be excessively delayed.
