What kinds of things do you need to know?

The mechanics of the actual practices will vary from country to country, and (I would imagine) from state to state - perhaps even institution to institution.

Precautions are universal - the same as for living patients.

Zane Robinson Wolf, dean of nursing at LaSalle, has written a really interesting book which includes a large section of post-mortem nursing care - it's called "Nurses' work - the sacred and the profane"

Hope that helps a little :)
