I never liked the idea of sanctity of graves. Why? Because at best it's a made up sanctity.
Historically in Europe graves are only allotted for about 40 years (long enough for people who knew said person IRL to effectively die (or at least lose interest in visiting said person). Then their bodies were dug up, put in a crypt and a new person was laid in the place.
Here in America we have gravesites sold which are intended to last hundreds of years, with waterproof concrete emplacements. This is retarded, IMO, as it is a waste of space and funds which would be put to much better use as college funds or something.
