They are called necrophiles, even if they do not actually have sex with the corpse. The negation of the existence of death is the KEY element to necrophilia, NOT the sex part, that's just the more visible and shocking side of the whole deal; the corpse simply serves as material agency for the expression of this negation. To put it in other words, the majority of necrophiles never had sex with a corpse, but DO maintain the necessary fixations to be termed as such.
Just as an example, according to Erich Fromm, Adolf Hitler was a necrophile, for obvious reasons, even though there is no evidence that he even visited a death camp personally, much less had sex with a corpse. However, this does not keep him from being termed a necrophile by Mr. Fromm.

Necrophilia, also called thanatophilia and necrolagnia, is a paraphilia characterized by a sexual attraction to corpses. The word is artificially derived from Ancient Greek: νεκÏÏÏ (nekros; "corpse," or "dead") and Ïιλία (philia; "love"). The term appears[1] to have originated from Krafft-Ebing's 1886 work Psychopathia Sexualis.[2]
Figuratively, the term "necrophilia" describes an inordinate desire to control another person, usually in the context of a romantic or interpersonal relationship; the accusation is that the person is so interpersonally controlling as to be better-suited to relationships with nonresponsive people.

Well. You just described them. Sickos. There are of course necropheliacs who like to have sex with corpses and there are of course frauds who conceal the body to continue collecting welfare checks, etc. But all in all Sicko works just fine!

Necrophilla. But My Mom told me as a joke that she wanted to have her body freezed dried and put in my bedroom.
Anyway I do think pet owners who freeze dry there pets are in need of a good shrink. I just don't think thats normal. When my pet dies I'm buring him just like your surpposed to.
