How do you dispose of a dead person?
Injection into the legitimate body disposal system (e.g. morgue, funeral home, cemetery, crematorium, funeral pyre, cadaver donation) or killings at a health care facility (e.g. Ann Arbor Hospital Murders and Dr. X killings) Burning, often in a building (e.g. possibly the Clinton Avenue Five)Who takes a dead body away?
Typically, if the death was from natural causes and in the presence of family, a funeral home of the family's choice will go to the home and remove the dead body.How long can a dead body be kept at home?
There are no federal laws that state how long a funeral home can hold a body. However, most states have some type of law that says a body must be either embalmed or refrigerated within 24 to 48 hours after the time of death.What do you do if you find a dead body?
The most important thing to do is to remain calm. Then, if you are able, confirm death without disturbing the scene or body, and contact the authorities (9-1-1). Feeling for a pulse, or breathing, will generally be okay.Ways People Have Disposed Bodies

Answer 3
Chances are it is not despawning because you are visiting the "cell" or loaded area, frequently. Travel far away from the settlement in question, and do not go back for about 10-15 in-game days (you can sleep/wait it off if you wish) that will "reset" the cell which will remove any temporary mobs. That should fix your problem. If you go back to the settlement too early, this 10-15 day timer will reset.
if you do not wish to do that then use Disable in-console. Do NOT use markfordelete.
Most of the creatures that spawn are Randomly generated. If you use markfordelete, it will delete that creature and any spawns like it afterwards.
EX.
5 Raiders attack a settlement. I kill them. I use markfordelete on one of them. there is a good chance that if raiders attack again, there will only be 4 raiders. This is what happened with skyrim so I cannot imagine it being any different.
On top of that markfordelete is permanent, so you can't fix mistakes.
Yes, disable doesnt "remove" the mob from the game, but it unloads it from memory, and prevents FO4 from loading it again, so while it may slow down load times, it will not affect fps or anything else in-game. It is just a much more safer option to choose.
Answer 4
It's not ideal but it saves using console commands but you could "bin" all the corpses. I have erected 4 walls and a staircase leading up. you can dump them inside. It gets them out of the way
Answer 5
I have a batch file which I run every start. One of the lines is:
setgs iHoursToClearCorpses 2
As ThreeTen suggested, go away from the cell for a while.
If you use MarkForDelete, try using Disable first, in case you've selected the wrong item (like Dogmeat!). You can then MarkForDelete once you're sure you have the intended target.
Answer 6
There is a mod that can help you get rid of corpses in your settlements.
(and it gives you materials for the bodies!)
I do not personally use this mod, so I can not account for how well it works.
Answer 7
I was having this same trouble until i noticed that only corpses with items in them were lingering around my settlements. Try looting all the items inside the corpses. It should allow them to dissapear.
Answer 8
I just blew them away with missiles
