* Chelkat Yakov 192 shows from numerous sources that it is permitted to delay the funeral to avoid chilul yom tov sheni, such as if people will drive to the funeral. One proof is that it is beneficial to violate a small aveirah in order to save someone else from a greater sin and delaying a burial is more lenient in that if it is for his honor it is permitted and chilul yom tov sheni is more serious since the rabbis treated it like a Biblical day of Yom Tov. Additionally it would for the honor of the dead person to delay the funeral so that there’s no desecration of Yom Tov. Finally, he says that it is an explicit gemara Shabbat 139a that it is permitted to delay a funeral on Yom Tov sheni to avoid a desecration of Yom Tov sheni. | * Chelkat Yakov 192 shows from numerous sources that it is permitted to delay the funeral to avoid chilul yom tov sheni, such as if people will drive to the funeral.
