Graveyard Keeper 2 Corpses: Autopsy, Skulls & Zombie Workers

Corpses are the early-game choke point in Graveyard Keeper 2: what you do on the autopsy table decides burial quality, resurrection fodder, and whether a body becomes a useful zombie worker. Use these guides for decision order — bury, resurrect, or discard — then jump into red-skull builds, zombie mastery, the zombie limit and graveyard quality when you are ready.
