What happens after death?

[Succubus]

From the outside, after death looks like decay .. unless you pump the corpse up with formaldehyde or burn it up.  Personally I'd prefer the organic material of my dead body have access to rejoining the web of life through some creature's digestive system.  I understand we are too toxic for most animals but even a vulture would be more to my liking than that work horse of decomposition, the maggot.

Hope that helps.

In days of yore there was the quaint custom of having your body thrown down your enemies water well.
