If they're dressed, seven to probably twenty-plus depending on your
definition of "comfortable."

If they're undressed and disarticulated, quite a few.  For a WAG I'll
say a hundred -- if they take up half a cubic foot that would be
right.  Good many more if you're allowed to smash the skull.  She'll
likely be "down" before she's "full" though.  I'm very-rough-guessing
that a skellington weighs 20# or so.

If it's the fully-ankylosed fellow I met once in the late lamented
Armed Forces Institute of Pathology Museum, you'd maybe have to bring
his rocking chair along too, in which case one might be the number.

Yours,
David
