For some people that is true, however mankind has gone to great lengths over the last few thousand years, in many cultures, to preserve the body in as intact a fashion as possible.

But as far as graves being for the living and with respect to ancient graves - I personally get more out of seeing history (as evidenced by many ancient graveyards, especially in Europe) than I do from seeing another car park or shopping mall.

So in that respect, I agree.
