When my dad died, we had about the same amount of time between his death and his memorial service. It seemed to work for most people. For my mom, the interval was about 10 days, but basically everyone who really wanted to be there was local, or already visiting.
It's true that a lot of processing will go on now, but perhaps think of it as less involving "everyone" than sub-groups who will have their own specific ritual.
I would say ask the people who are most likely to be affected, who you have named in your post.
