There are plenty from the very early days of the Church, known by name.
Here’s one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycarp
He’s my favorite, next to Saint Augustine, who is another: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustine_of_Hippo

Augustine was a genius, but I guess not incorruptable. I always took that ashes to ashes, dust to dust thing pretty seriously.

It didn’t prevent the body of ELISHA from decaying.

2Ki 13:21 And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band [of men]; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.

And it was written that the body of Paramahansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi did not decay for quite a while.
