Depends on which country and what type of morgue. Mortitions are the obvious type but also doctos.
Some one close to that person is the only one that can get the body moved unless they can't get a hold of them then they will contact someone else to make a decision whether it not to move it or cremate it
it will look decayed,there will be just bones, and it will have a bad odor. Actually, when a person dies they are taken to either a funeral home for embalming or to a coroner's office for autopsy. After the person arrives they are then emptied of all bodily fluids, organs and their brain is taken out and weighed. If an autopsy has been done all of this is pretty much done when the funeral home gets them. All that is done then is to force embalming fluid into the veins. This is a preservative that allows the body to lay "in state" while the funeral takes place. Actually, when the casket is lowered into the grave, it goes into a vault that is cement and is sealed. This keeps most bugs and animals from entering the casket. Most deceased bodies are pretty much in-tact with hair, nails, skin and even facial hair after 10,20, 30 years. Embalming and the removal of organs and blood help to create a modern mummification. Chances are that your loved one would look thinner and darker than they did at burial but pretty much the same. Fat cells would have melted away and some decay would have taken place but overall the facial area would be in-tact. In cases of diseased bodies, that might not be the case. Cancer, and some influenza, and bacterial infections can eat away at body tissue. If you were to roll that person over and look at their underside, it would be most likely the place of most decay. Gravity forces any decaying to take place where the body is touching any surface.
A morgue is a facility used to store and examine deceased bodies. It typically contains refrigeration units to preserve bodies, examination tables, tools for autopsies, and storage for personal effects. Staff in a morgue may include forensic pathologists, forensic scientists, and mortuary technicians.
A morgue is a place where dead bodies are stored. An animal morgue is a place where dead animals are stored.
a place where dead bodies are kept
A morgue, a cemetery, a holding freezer.
morgue or autopsey room
Dead bodies are often stored in a hospital morgue before transport to a county morgue. This is a common practice.
They are picked up by the county in a special van.

The mortuary cold chamber is used to keep the deceased as long as is necessary for identification purposes, post-mortemexamination, or while awaiting burial. Morgue - Morgue or mortuary cold chamber There are two types of mortuary cold chambers: * Morgue - Positive temperature +2/+4 °C (35.6°/39.2°F) which is the most usual for keeping the bodies a few days or a few weeks, but does not prevent decomposition of the corpse, which continues, albeit at a slow rate. * Morgue - Negative temperature -15°C/-25 °C (5°/-13°F) which is usual in forensic institutes, especially for bodies which have not yet been identified. At these temperatures, the body is completely frozen and decomposition totally halted.

A deceased person's body may be kept at the morgue (suspicious death, murder, etc). But all bodies are eventually at the mortuary (funeral home).
they dispose the bodies in the tower of silence
Most forensic laboratories would have an odor that would not be different than most offices. Other facilities like a morgue or autopsy room would be have different odors.
