Zombies are already considered dead, and they aren't exactly operating under their own will anymore. They cease to be the personalities they once were as functioning humans, and now they're just entities searching for brains. So in that respect, you can argue that they aren't exactly suffering.
However....you can also argue whether the dead person's soul went to heaven after they were attacked and killed by the zombie. This could possibly account for whether they are "resting in peace" or not. In my opinion, I feel if I were killed and reanimated at the hands (teeth?) of a zombie, I sure as hell wouldn't be resting in peace.
Speaking of zombies, a little shameless plug for Shawn:

(I had to answer this because it was an interesting topic for the LJ "topic of the day" that I couldn't pass up.)
But onto another topic: "Charm School" again. And I'm putting this behind a cut because it involves some spoilers, but it's a thought that I just have to throw out there. If you want to be spoiled, go ahead and read it. ( Read more... )
