Whales are predators. They are at the top of the food chain! Nobody has found an animal that eats them! (Supervisor note: hmm...killer whales, sharks, humans? This assertion is relatively correct but the question is asking about decomposers. Since everything dies, even apex predators are eaten by decomposers. Actually an interesting article that I saw in National Geographic has the carcass of a whale on the ocean floor being consumed and lived in by clams and tube worms. Apparently the bacteria that actually decomposes the carcass make a convenient transition for the higher forms.
