I never knew JW required burial or cremation with a week of your death...
Anybody know why?

Because he's Prince.
When my mom passed away last month, it took almost two weeks to schedule her cremation and funeral. That's how backlogged the funeral home and church were.
It's a good time to be in the funeral business. There's a whole bunch of baby boomers and they're starting to drop like flies.
IIRC, Jews are to be buried before sunset on the day of death, or possibly the next day. It goes back, one assumes, to biblical times and the rapidity within which bodies decompose. (I think Jews can’t be embalmed, either). A few other religions have adopted those death/burial rituals. Catholics couldn’t be cremated until the past few decades. All religions have some quirks about their departed.
