What does a dead body look like after a year would it still look the same after a year will they look like that forever?
Unless the body has been mummified (a way of preserving it), a dead body begins to decompose within days. That is why immediately after death, a funeral director might embalm the body, because the embalming fluid does slow down the body's decay. But it will not stop decay and decomposition from occurring. Depending on the type of coffin, some bodies decompose more slowly than others, but generally, a dead body in a typical coffin would not entirely decompose down to a skeleton for at least 12-15 years, and in cool climates, it can take even longer. Thus, after a year, you would certainly see signs of decomposition: for example, the skin would have dried out, and the body would be discolored.
