My only experiences are recent, but it appears impossible to have a timely service with the ashes actually present. My cynical take is that as more people are opting for cremation instead of a traditional burial, funeral homes are pushing the process length so that the bereaved will go ahead and pay for embalming and a casket rental even if they ultimately are going to cremate just to have something there of the deceased at the service besides a photograph.
I could be mistaken, though, has anyone ever attended a funeral with an urn that falls within the usual timeline?
