until then/until after then
Even now she doesn't know whether she will face fresh revelations and says hospital bosses have told her she will have to wait until after the inquiry to find out whether any more of Keith's organs are missing.
"I just don't know if that is all. They have said they can't say until after the inquiry so I can't finally bury him until after then/until then"
Though I read through many sentences on Google search, still I am finding difficult to understand the exact difference between "until after then" and "until then". Could you tell me what is the difference between them in this context? It may help me to grasp them
