Dead is dead.Zombies have no rights. Sidenote: Whoever performs a resurrection should be faced by other people who want someone they love to be resurrected, the old "why that guy, why not my bady". Sidenote: Afterlife should be part of every DM's world myth, the travel, the return, the life in it.  Again, see the DM Advice link.</blockquote>
