Question
Is Kaddish recited after the death of one's father before his burial?
Answer
Before the burial, the son has the status of an onen and is exempt from all commandments, unless he has handed over the deceased to the Chevra Kadisha and is not involved at all. Or on Shabbat and Yom Tov, when he cannot attend to the deceased, he does not have the status of an onen, and it is customary to recite Kaddish before the burial.
