"there's no expectation of privacy for the dead." presumes the corpse is a person with personal privacy. I choose to interpret it differently: the corpse is property of the family, albeit property with a few additional rights and rules, and property that has been entrusted with the funeral home. The funeral home would have been well within their rights to say "get off my property and come back with a warrant". I would even go as far as to say they had an obligation to do so.
