I would think that the precence of a soul matters depending on how far along a dead corpse decays, but seeing as skeletons are souls given enough magic to create physical flesh (instead of repairing old flesh) I'd say souls of humans stay in their dying place for a long-ass time. At least as long as their bones are still undecayed.

Human souls stay long, that we know now with the above hypotheses. Monster souls however might not stay too long before passing on to the next world to be recycled into this one as new creatures.
