You could go with something entirely mundane... like the cultists keep a good sized pig pen and just feed the corpses to the pigs.

Haflings. They have sharp knives and are meat pie connoisseurs.

Has anyone suggested a cadaver collector yet?

This is literally what Otyughs and Carrion Crawlers were built for.

Running a one shot where the cultists dispose of corpses after ritualistic killing. I wanted to have a side room that is kind of their dump for said bodies, and was trying to decide what type of monster would be best. I'm thinking it needs to be either low intellect or loyal/something that can be controlled.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

..Would a gelatinous cube be dumb?

You could adapt Larry Niven's ghouls from Ringworld for this problem. That was their ecological niche.

Ran it last night. Used Teddar (rhymes with cheddar) the lazy troll. One PC liked him so much they are keeping him as a pet with the promise of all future corpses.
Thanks for all the great suggestions! I have more ideas for the future
