Oddly enough, corpse-eaters in DF3 have Restricted Diet (Flesh of other sapient beings) but not ORH (eats sapients).
Could be useful for a bit of dissonant world building - at least one culture where being eaten by ghouls is the normal funeral practice ... sort of like a weird form of sky burial.
The ghouls could still be a despised caste since they are "unclean" (like Indian Dalits or Japanese Eta), but no-one freaks out about them eating corpses because it's culturally normal.

Not exactly canon but it might work...
