Animists and ancestors

It's been convincingly argued that ancestor worshipping animist traditions don't practice integration as that would put the ancestor out of circulation. However, isn't the same true for fetishes: if old grandpa is caught in a fetish, another descendant who tries to contact him should fail.

Should there be another mechanic for ancestor worship? Like go to the spirit plane, talk to the ancestors and ask them to do delayed magic which the descendants then can trigger.
