They don't, that's just a myth. After you die, you start to dehydrate, which pulls the skin back away from the fingernails slightly. It looks like the nails are growing, because your nail actually extends back from the cuticle a bit. Between that and the fingertips shriveling, it looks like the nails grew. Same basic thing with hair- the skin on the scalp tightens, and it looks like the hair got longer slightly. But when you die, the cells that actually produce nails and hair die as well- they aren't making anything new. It's just a trick of the whole decomposition process.

Describe nail formation?
Living skin cells in the finger are what produced fingernails. A fingernail is made of several parts. The nail plate, the nail bed, the cuticle, the nail folds, the lunula, and the matrix are all parts of the fingernail. Nails grow from the matrix and are composed of keratin. When new cells grow, the older cells are pushed out.
