Zombies Processes

Last week end I tried to kill some Zombie processes that dont let me shutted down the server as a matter of fact I tell ya, from my point of view there is no solution to kill a zombie process but a reboot. I know this is not a polite way to handle a server but even kill -9 or fuser -ck wasnt enough. I really wonder some one who know how to eliminate such processes.
