What happens to my Corpse if I die in a Forest?

I was just randomly checking out what Funerals costs and was shocked how expensive it was! €3.500 to €5.500! I live in north Germany, and we have here some very deep Woods. So I was thinking what would happen if I just die there. Let’s say no one ever finds me. Are Animals just going to eat me, and will I just be gone in a couple of years?

EDIT: If someone knows what happens step by step I would be really curious to know :D

Well yes and no. The Schwarzwald area is actually not to far from where I live, I've been there often. It's a huge forest, but there are a lot of towns, homes and tourist locations in there. It's more like an area than exclusively a forest. I doubt there is any place you can walk in a straight line for more than a couple of hours before happening upon a road, home or town.

It's also a very popular tourist location for people near and far, so it can be quite busy there.
