There is Corpse Farm in Tennessee that is attempting to answer questions like these. Bodies are stored in a number of different conditions. Anthropologists observe the rate of decay and insect successions to develop tables. In a graveyard, the California State guidelines indicate about 10 years is needed for complete decomposition. In Vietnam due to the high heat and humidity a corpse would show significant degradation overnight, on the other hand Ötzi the Iceman in Austria lasted several thousand years (3300 BCE to present) due to the dry cold conditions.
