To think dead bodies should stay buried

[myusernameisusername]

Ive just read yet another story about an inca baby been exhumed and studied for "science" to learn about the culture at the time and one a few weeks ago about bodies been exhumed in the UK to make way for a railway line AIBU to think they should stay buried and it's unbelievably sick and disrespectful to do this to a sacred resting place of someone's mothe father child etc

Shouldn't it be DMummies on Mumsnet?

Op's reaction of feeling "sick to the stomach" when hearing about this is extreme. I reserve that for the living.

I have worked in the funerals business. People are incredibly respectful of dead bodies, recognising that they are someone's loved one. But moving a dead body or a skeleton from its initial burial place is not inherently disrespectful.

Good for you Snakey, I would include a 'F Off Time Team* laminated sign within the shroud.

I'm going to leave my body for Dr Alice Roberts to fiddle with. She can have it now, if she likes
