Any garden supply should have it as it is used on lawns.

Or any farm supply / feed store.

Lime ? Lime ?

Pouring garden lime(stone) [calcium carbonate] on the dead critter would do
nothing.
After all, you can spread it right onto your lawn and no harm is done. It is
simply used to adjust the soil pH.

Thats LIME.

Now, if you want to dissolve a body (ala SOPRANOS), its LYE that you want
to use, not Lime.
LYE is what they used to make soap in the old days.. This is Sodium
Hydroxide
It WILL dissolve fat and body material (and clogs in your drain, and metal
pipes!)
