The answer

It is recommended to hasten the burial of the deceased, but there is no harm in a slight delay of an hour or two, if it is for the purpose of fulfilling an obligation, or to increase the number of congregants praying over the deceased, or similar reasons that do not cause any change to the deceased's body. Likewise, it is permissible for the one responsible for preparing the deceased to miss the Friday prayer if he fears that the body might change or be neglected.
