Perhaps ...Saint Bernadette Soubirous or the 250+ other saints whose bodies are incorrupt.

This is what Wikpedia has to say about picture-perfect Bernadette

The Church exhumed the corpse a second time on April 3, 1919. A doctor who examined the body noted, "The body is practically mummified, covered with patches of mildew and quite a notable layer of salts, which appear to be calcium salts. ... The skin has disappeared in some places, but it is still present on most parts of the body." In 1925, the church exhumed the body for a third time. They took relics, which were sent to Rome. A precise imprint of the face was molded so that the firm of Pierre Imans in Paris could make a wax mask based on the imprints and on some genuine photos....Imprints of the hands were also taken for the presentation of the body and the making of wax casts. The remains were then placed in a gold and crystal reliquary in the Chapel of Saint Bernadette at the mother house in Nevers."

I think your argument with the picture is rather misleading, don't you think?

Have you looked into the other 249 ;-)?

As Catholics we have a choice - the preference being for burial vs cremation. I believe there is a community of monks now offering burial in earth friendly boxes in fields without markers. "Dust thou art and until dust thou shalt return", be it sooner or later.
