An ambulance is intended to move people who are still living but are in need of medical help. Of course, it is possible that a person who is living when the ambulance picks him or her up, will die in the ambulance before getting to the hospital. If this happens, the ambulance will still take the body to the hospital (where it may be subjected to an autopsy). However, if a person is already dead, you would not call an ambulance, you would call a hearse.

As for the legalities, it is illegal to inflict an indignity on a dead body, but being carried in an ambulance would not be considered an indignity. In some circumstances it would be a waste of medical resources, needed to help the living.
