Don't know about 5E but 3.5 at least allowed a fresh corpse to be brought to a cleric and revived for a fee, if your own party had no means of True Resurrection. The DM could always be a dick and claim they don't want to come back, I guess. But if they are truly important to the campaign, surely that would be counter productive.
In 3.5 if the soul didn't want to return they could refuse, but you could attempt to trick them into returning
3.5 also allowed my druid to become a Master of Many Forms which is quite OP
That game petered out, I wouldn't mind a one shot set in its future: that character and it's other overpowered party members aged and seeking a death in battle to trigger their contingent spells to reincarnate
