Sometimes. When someone has a big meal before they pass away the digestive track continues to function normally. Thats why at funerals the mortician needs to ram a bun or some bread into the deceased stomach to keep it from growling during the viewings at the funeral.
Hope this helps.

no cellular growth stops after death it cannot continue in humans as cell needs oxygen for releasing energy, which is in blood and is pumped by heart . the blood contains oxygen when the heart stops pumping blood the supply of oxygen stops and the all cells die

I'm not a doctor but I think the answer is yes. I think technically your fingernails and hair continue to grow for a short while after death.

No. After death the body is dead no life no bodily functions to produce any growth.

I think so. The heart, even when taken away from the body, beats when in a rich nutrient solution.
