As for your question, whether you can stay and stay for a day after driving the ashes of your loved ones out of town for burial depends on the specific circumstances. If you need to stay and stay on the way, you can choose some institutions or units that provide services specifically for the burial of ashes, such as funeral parlors, temples, cemeteries, etc. These institutions or units usually provide one-stop services such as ashes burial, sacrifices, and accommodation, so that you can better commemorate your loved ones.
