How long after ctb is body released for burial? (UK)

[facel]

Does anyone know typically how long after ctb the body is released for burial, especially in the UK? I know the coroner will require an inquest for any suicide, so it takes longer than for a normal death, but I'm trying to work out any impact on the holidays for my family - I don't want them having to deal with a burial just before Christmas for example.

I'm planning ctb this week with N.
I'm hoping like my friend who was suspected of taking a drug overdose a few weeks back it'll be relatively quick.
Apparently (at least in Scotland) they couldn't give a shit about suicides. Unless you have covid they don't want to know. They are inendated & behind everything due to pandemic.
It was recorded as drug overdose substance unknown. She's been buried.
For the family it could be months before they ascertain what drugs did it. The coroner hasn't given that info yet but allowed burial to go ahead.
According to UK govt suicides are down in UK since covid. It's bollocks charities recording 10 x suicide calls. It's just the people recording reason for death are way behind. I used to work in mental health responsible for statistics on drug overdose deaths. Now they're just piling up & no answers. Doesn't stop funerals happening.

Thanks for that @Chockles . So about 3 weeks? Yes, the stats are a joke.

My God that is sickening! They have brushed so much under the carpet suicide wise since covid.

Same dilemma.
