ELI5: Would my dead body decompose if sent into space?

I'm watching Star Troopers and a deceased body has been sent into space. If this happened to me would my body decompose?

Not the way it does on earth.  Since no organisms we know of can survive in space (without being contained in some sort of space protection), and the way you decompose on earth is by being eaten up by other organisms, you would not decompose or rot.  Instead, all the moisture in your body would be sucked out and you would be sort of freeze dried, preserving you for a long time.
