Why do some blacks take so long to bury someone?

Aretha died on the 16th and is being buried on the 31st. Someone a few weeks ago went to their grandmothers funeral who had died more than two weeks before that. I have seen some blacks wait about a month to bury someone. I am just curious if there is a reason for this rooted in custom or tradition somewhere.

Folks like CFV and Vols are terrified of black folk, we have to make sure they're satisfied that they're really dead first.
