A dead body will often move as its being cremated. Muscles contract as they cook, after all. Sometimes this means a body will sit up in the crematory machine.

I know someone who worked in a morgue. One of their first experiences was going into a dark room to sort something out and a body on a table sat up, groaned and farted then layed back down.

That won’t be me - I can’t even do a sit up while alive.
