Question regarding body release

I have a coworker who’s son was found dead in a car on 5/18 he was 13 years old. On 5/23 they asked his mother to come give a dna sample. They weren’t able to identify his body by dental records. They will not allow her to identify the body by looking at it. She calls everyday and they have no answers for her. This is in Travis county Texas. She has paid for his funeral and is planning for it to be on 6/13. Could they delay releasing the body until the dna results are back? Which could take 6 weeks or longer.
