Here in Northern Ireland, funerals usually do take place within 3 days of death (irregardless of non-working days), particularly within the Catholic community. If the death happens before midnight, that day is counted as day 1 of a 3 day wake.

In 2021, yes (after the initial "bury immediately" in early 2020).

My parents died 5 days apart in March 2021 and both of their funerals were within 3 days.
