I'm afraid I'm struggling to see what your actual argument is.

If you allow necrophilia if the person consented while alive then you have to allow cannibalism as well. Throw in bestiality because it really doesn't make sense to able to screw your sister or dead brother but not your sheep or pig. And hey I can screw my dead brother's pet cat after eating him for breakfast why can't I snort crystal meth.
And what if I were to say "Well yeah" to all of that? How would you argue that any of these things were wrong? (Also, it sounds as though you think snorting crystal meth is morally worse than bestiality and cannibalism of relatives. Really?)
Society has the right to say there are certain taboos that are not allowed and it does have the right to set limits on acceptable behavior. People are willing to allow hate speech laws but oppose laws that violate the social norms of virtually every human society in history. Those social norm evolved for a reason and it is very dangerous to think you can just toss them out at will.
1. Yes, of course society has that right. But that doesn't mean there can be no discussion as to where those limits should be set.
2. Which "people" are you talking about? I don't know of any pro-incest or pro-necrophilia campaign groups. This was an academic question.
3. What is the reason you refer to? I'm interested in your view about what (if anything) can justify the prohibition.

—La vie ? Neutre ? C'est très joli, et surtout très logique.

No and yes, because of the issue of consent.

Only people can provide consent. Corpses are not people, just rotting meat. *NM*

I suppose that's fair, but I wouldn't try selling it to the family.

You're confusing two separate issues.

I think the trauma to the familys could (and probably should) be considered criminal as well.

I thought the rights of next to kin were pretty generally recognized.

And I certainly don't think consensual incest should brand someone a sexual predator for life.

My argument is that society has the right to say some things are just wrong
