There's a newer term, "cremains" for "cremated" remains which I find to be a bit tacky. But my understanding is that "Remains" is ok... better than corpse. Body is ok too. Can't really think of anything else to call it.

Tacky or stupid (sounds like a marketing ploy)...My family has relied on cremation for generations. We just call 'em ASHES. ;-)
