Granted while the zombie is active it is dangerous, contagious and vilified. However once the zombie has been dispatched what remains is in question.

Still highly contagious, (as you may remember for the excellent blood drop in the eye from 28 days later) but is the corpse still a zombie or does it revert back to Grandma or Mr. Peterson who used to work for the post office?

Case in point the mideseason finale of the walking dead. Clearly the zombie of notice was Sophia. Now that she has finally died, is her body just a dead zombie or is it Sophia's dead body? Will Rick's group be able to treat those zombies the way they left others dead in the street to rot?

If the zombie reverts back to a person's dead body should it be treated with respect and buried? Or should the infection out weigh all considerations of humanity and the corpse should be treated like any bio-hazard materials that needs to be destroyed?

I would just leave it to one side to be honest. haha
