Question : relates to verse 17-18 of the second letter written to 2 Timothy, Anyone have any insights on these individuals? I do believe that the resurrection happens today, and people do not lay waiting in the grave, but that is a person choice.
If everyone is being resurrected today in the heavenly realm as preachers at funerals say is this still true?

There is a difference between bodily resurrection and the destination of the souls/spirits of the departed.
The passage in Timothy is talking about false preachers who were saying the resurrection had happened and that people had missed it.
The resurrection of the dead will happen when Jesus returns.
That is a general resurrection of all the dead, Christians to join Jesus, non Christians to depart forever from his presence.
What happens to the souls/spirits until Jesus returns is hotly debated.
As God and heaven is outside of time, my belief is that at death we move outside of time to an instance of judgement ending either with Jesus or being excluded.
As I said I believe we are bodily resurrected when Jesus returns.
I said, "As God and heaven is outside of time, my belief is that at death we move outside of time to an instance of judgement ending either with Jesus or being excluded"
That is my personal believe.
There is one resurrection of All the dead at Jesus's 2nd coming, but as I've said I believe we go to be with him, as a spirit or soul until he comes again.
