The answer

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded that the funeral be hastened, and this includes hastening the preparation and walking with it. However, if the burial arrangements are not ready at night, there is no objection to the deceased remaining overnight in the morgue refrigerator to preserve the body from decomposition.
