Burial

Question
A man and his daughter died while traveling and she returned only after two days. She requested to wait for the burial to say goodbye to her father. Is it permissible to delay his burial for two days for this reason? The doctor says that if we keep him in the refrigerator, his body will be preserved and nothing will happen to it.
Answer
I say, and with God's guidance: Delaying burial is disliked, and God knows best.
