If you pay the casualty cost of a spell, the copy will resolve before the original spell.
wotc29 Apr 2022
You may sacrifice only one creature to pay a spell's casualty cost, and you copy the spell only once.
wotc29 Apr 2022
You may return any creature card from your graveyard to your hand, not just those you milled while resolving Dig Up the Body.
wotc29 Apr 2022
Casualty N means “As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may sacrifice a creature with power N or greater.” and “When you cast this spell, if a casualty cost was paid for it, copy it. If the spell has any targets, you may choose new targets for the copy.”

The copy of the spell is created on the stack, so it's not “cast.” Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell won't trigger.
