The answer

It is sunnah to hasten the burial of the deceased, and the funeral procession should proceed at a light, swift pace, slightly faster than normal walking, in a manner that does not burden those carrying or following it, and does not harm the deceased. The command to hasten is for recommendation, by agreement of the scholars.
