It depends on whether or not you killed them. If you did, then yes. If you found them and decided to cook them, then eat them, then no.

It depends on the circumstances. If you're starving with a stranded mountain climbing group in a snowstorm, it's not a sin to eat a dead person. If you have to kill one of the survivors to eat him, that's not so good. Do you kill the oldest climber to eat him, the youngest because he won't survive anyway, women past childbearing age? Someone in pain?
You might also consider legal, ethical, moral implications.
Some remote tribes still eat people. Not my taste, but I guess it's cultural.

Hmmm....I do believe murder is a sin, so being a cannibal would be if you killed them. if you didnt then I guess not. But you may want to contact their families first to see if theyd want an open casket.

It is not a sin, but then are you prepared for someone stronger to come along and eat you up. Do unto others.....

Yes, it is a sin.
As for "this is my body", that is a spiritual thing. The Lord died on the cross, breaking His body, and becoming a spirit so we could "eat Him" and take Him in as our life.
Sorry, but I find that extremely offending.

It is. Two things: Though shalt not kill (Murder) and second even you only eat people after they died - the Bible speaks about in Levitus 11 what is clean for our bodies to eat.

Well Jesus told people they are eating his body and drinking his blood, and encouraged it. So he must have thought it is OK. Many still go to church and are told they are eating his body, etc. Christianity is sick, it is starting to sound more like a cult.

For the heck of it. Not good, bad, bad girl.
But for the sake of survival if you are marooned on a snowy mountain top and they were already dead and it meant your only means of surviving. Then you do what you have to do.
