That depends. With the recently dead it would be as safe as touching a living body. If the body is obviously decomposing I would not recommend it (Who would?). At say, an open casket funeral, there shouldn't be a problem as it is usually predicted that somebody might want to touch it so is made safe.
As long as you have a healthy immune system you should be fine (You might want to wash your hands, especially before eating (but I'm sure you do that anyway))
