Answer: It could be supernatural, but my guess is that the bodies were preserved with embalming fluid. the eyelids didn't decompose so they were preserved too. It wouldn't be too hard to acomplish since it was done in a funeral home by a mortician with a lot of expierence.
I would say that it's because the bodies are processed as they would be in a morgue. Since that's what the house used to be 'officially' before they bought it as a house. That's why the rent's so cheap.
