  I don't think 19th century Italians thought like 21st century Finns.
I think 19th century Italians had a pretty catholic culture, seeing that
catholicism has existed there for over a millenia, and I have never heard
decorating churches with dead bodies was part of catholic tradition. (Of
course not being a catholic myself, I could be wrong.)
