Same down our way Glamma. It was a month before OH's Aunt's cremation took place. As Qwerty says, it's not good when you're grieving. In Scotland it used to be 3 days between death and burial/cremation. Not sure how long it is now.

Sometimes funerals are delayed by the need of a coroner's inquest , sometimes families delay to wait for family members who may be abroad, sometimes families want a particular vicar, and that can delay things. They do seem to take a long time these days.“A grandchild fills a space in your heart that you never knew was empty.” – UnknownComment

It's far too long, I think. Round here delays are often caused because the crems are so booked up, even though we've got a couple of newly built ones. I remember when my Dad died in 1961 he passed away in the early hours of the Friday morning, and his funeral was on the Monday.
Gem - I'm sorry your OH will have to wait such a long time to say goodbye to his pal.

My sympathies go out to your OH Glam. I hate that time between death & the funeral service. Feels like you're stuck in limbo. Thinking of you both."Good friends help you to find important things when you have lost them....your smile, your hope, and your courage."
