They're called "Vodouisant"

"Spirits."
In Voodoo, the spirits are called Loa. There are thousands of Loa in Voodoo. Although there is cosiderable variation among families and regions, there are generally two groups of Loa, the Rada and the Petro. The Rada spirits are mostly seen as "sweet Loa," while the Petro are seen as "bitter," because they are more demanding of their "children." Rada spirits appear to be of African origin, while Petro spirits are of Haïtian origins. Each loa has their own symbol called vèvè.

They are called "dead" because as they are empty, the bottles no longer contain "spirits".

Native American Spirituality, & Voodoo.
There are many important terms in Voodoo. the most common ones are: Hougan(Voodoo Priest), Mambo(Voodoo Priestess), Asson(Sacred rattle and tool of the priesthood), Loa(Voodoo spirits) Vèvè( Symbols to represent a specific spirit. each spirit have its own vèvè.)
Voodoo believers usually worship the nature spirits called Loa. The Loa is the connection between them and the God Legba, so one could say that the Voodo believers also worship their God Legba
If the dead was not a priest they don't do anything special with the corpse beside bathe it, dressed it and bury it.... I can't tell you what they do with the dead body of someone who was a Voodoo priest/ess.(you are not an initiate)
