Find Care & Housing
Call the funeral home tomorrow and they should be able to help you. You might have to sign documents for them to do the cremation. Sometimes there is a couple of days wait, whatever state laws entail. I assume they have an internet docusign available. They might require payment to proceed. Start planning an obit. Even if you do not put it in a newspaper, the funeral home can put it on their website. I actually needed that information when I was executor in my mom's state.
You can delay the celebration with cremation. As far as storage, the funeral home can ship ashes to you. I kept ashes in my home for a few weeks., partly because the coroner took a month to complete the death certificate. I carried my mom's ashes on a plane and contracted with another funeral home at her final destination. In both instances, I did both phone and in person.

Update:

We (me, hubs and my 93-yr old Mom) went to FL for the Catholic mass funeral. I gave the eulogy (very cathartic), there was a nice brunch back at the "twin" sister's house afterwards which was a wonderful time with family, friends, and neighbors. I will plan another Celebration of Life down there in June for all the relatives who couldn't make it to the funeral. We will all cram into the 2 adjoining houses and eat, laugh, and play together at "our" beach for a week, just like old times. My other Aunt will be 104 by then! She will love all the company.

Thank you to everyone on this forum for your kind words and support!
