necrophiliacs
Dead body fetishists
Necrophiliacs are people sexually attracted to corpses or who engage in sexual acts with the dead.
The term combines the Greek roots for death and love.
Necrophilia is considered a paraphilia and is illegal in most jurisdictions.
The word sometimes appears figuratively for those with morbid fascinations: The tabloid's readers are necrophiliacs for celebrity scandal.
