收尸 @ 《现代汉语词典》
«动»收拾尸体火化或埋葬,不使暴露。

收尸 @ 《全球华语大词典》
收殓死在外面(多指非正常死亡)的人的尸体。

收屍 @ 《重編國語辭典修訂本》
收殮屍體。如:「他真可憐!死了也沒人幫他收屍。」也作「收尸」。

收尸 @ 外研社·汉英词典
bury the dead (often out of charity)
----------------------------

Editor: "bury the dead" suggests there are *multiple* corpses, which is not necessarily the case with 收尸.

More to the point, "bury the dead" omits the key *retrieval* aspect -- 收尸 isn't really about *burial*.
E.g. 26歲女模「全裸墜樓」身亡!富商遭逮捕 鄰居驚:有掙扎聲
Photo caption: 警方到現場收屍。
(The pixelated photo shows police carrying away the dead body. We can assume that the police don't *bury* her.)

Other examples.
新生訓導處只編立十二個中隊,可是,有些隊員在綠島死亡,台灣本島沒人來收屍,就地埋葬在這裡的公墓,...

負責處理台北市松樹病害的台北市政府建設局科長黃瑞祥也說,砍除病樹的開支,比之其他工程,杯水車薪,「但這些錢花來收屍,並沒有解決問題。」
