Yes, MRSA can still be contagious on a dead body. If you have to handle or come into contact with a dead person who had MRSA, precautions such as a face mask and gloves should be taken until the body has been taken care of to make sure that it is no longer contagious.

∙ 15y agoMRSA (pronounced "mersa") is a form of the bacterium Staphylococcus Aureus that is resistant to multiple antibiotic drugs. It is very widespread and contagious, with interpersonal transmission mainly via the hands - it can enter through any breaks in the skin (though recent evidence suggest that sexual transmission may be quite common). There exists a similar form known as VRSA which has resistance to another class of antibiotics.

How long are you contagious with mrsa before you show signs?
MRSA (methylcillian resistant staph aureus) is a staph infection that is resistant to most antibiotics. There are many kinds of staph germs. If you have MRSA your infection will not "look" any different than someone with non-MRSA staph. A person can "carry" the MRSA germ without ever actually having the infection. If they have an open wound, the germ can infect it (via touch/contact) and cause the wound to have a hard time healing until super strong antibiotics are used. Once someone has MRSA, they are considered "positive" always. Summary: You can be "contagious" and NEVER show symptoms.
