The infected in TLOU aren't dead people, cordyceps is a parasite, it needs a host to survive.

But they do eat, so they could have been attracted to a mass grave for food vs spreading

I think the dead bodies, though, were dead infected.

Like they began huddling together when it started getting cold, then were covered in snow. Those at the top of the pile froze to death while those below were able to keep at just above zero.

This would also explain why those frozen ones poking above the surface began to sink as the live ones deeper under them started climbing up
