I’m so sorry this is a very disturbing question and Google isn’t giving good answers lol
Anyone from the funeral industry here who can answer this messed up question? I promise I had a reason that isn’t being a psycho.

Well just based on my experience with buying whole fish at the fishmonger, yes.

The eye almost deflates, is the best way I can describe it. The eye ball doesn’t really get squishy, but it ends up sort of “pitted”.. a bit like a deflated soccer ball.
In the funeral home, they give the illusion of an eye ball still being there using a small plastic piece. It’s exactly like a contact lense, but bigger. They then gently close the eyelid over the top of this.
Coroner experience here. It does deflate a bit, depending on decomp. You take a sample of vitreous humor (a clear, gel-like substance that fills the space between the lens and the retina in the eye) at autopsy and that deflates it a bit more. It is interesting to see the needle trough the pupil though.
Eyeballs are 98% water, 2% fibers. When a person dies, all fluids go to the most dependent part of the body. If the decedent is lying on his back, the fluids go to his back. Back of the body will look a purple/blue color. With eyes, that fluid moves downward, and they appear concave once the fluid has drained. Probably is a firm but soft feeling, until the fluids drain completely.
It goes like flat kinda but it’s still pretty firm, not as firm though
