Permanent Corpses (sometimes known as Perma Corpses) are corpses that don't have the "Dispose of Corpse" option. Consequently, the corpse will never disappear (unless it is caused by a scripted event). A corpse can hold an infinite amount of weight (same as your body inventory), and so is excellent for storage. Also, a permanent corpse will never reset or delete items. Permanent Corpses were made (for whatever reasons) when the developers checked the "corpses persist" box in the Construction Set.
