On Sleepers and corpse disposal: Didn't I read in Hush-Hush that the
Sleepers have a ritual which summons a pack of Tenebrae to devour the
inconvenient corpse?  Something like a mask to be put on the face of the
dearly departed?

For more mundane corpse disposal, I'd direct your attention to any of the
crime dramas / novels.  Favored methods include:

* Chopping up the corpse in a butcher shop, wrapping the pieces in plastic
and throwing them in a dumpster.
* Burying the corpse in the same casket as a corpse which died from natural
causes.  
* Burn corpse in crematorium accessed after hours.
* Wrap up the corpse in a rug and/or bed sheets then take it to the woods
for an impromptu burial.  Note: ensure victim is dead BEFORE attempting
burial.
* For a complete lack of subtlety, drench corpse and surrounding area in
gasoline.  Throw in a lit traffic flare.  Run like hell.

and, of course, many many more.

How many scenarios involve the PCs breaking into someone's
house because he's a serial killer or a cultist or some
other nastiness?  Whether you're playing Unknown Armies,
Call of Cthulhu, or Men in Black, the PCs rarely work along
with law enforcement, so most of their actions are
blatantly illegal, even if it's for the good of society.  

And how do PCs deal with a bad guy they just shot in a
quiet neighborhood?  How would the Sleepers treat it? 
These two articles kind of show how the Sleepers (or very
resourceful PCs) can take a bad situation and make it too
confusing for the PCs to be followed.
