I don't really have a problem with it for archeological sites. Besides, how can archeologists get to other informative artifacts without disturbing the bodies? And in cases like the famous dust-encased bodies of the Pompeiian eruption (Vesuvius), they never had a proper burial, but now many have been removed from the site and have "perpetual" homage paid to them.

And for the Peat Bog Bodies, many of them were just tossed into the bog without ceremony. When we find them now (which is fairly often, since peat is used as a fuel), removal of the bodies is necessary and has resulted in increased knowledge of the times surrounding their deaths. And like the Pompeiian mummies, perhaps greater honor is given to them by display, rather than just being forgotten in the randomness of the peat bogs.

And he's even famous.

Cheesman Park in Denver used to be a cemetery. They dug up and moved most of the bodies, but could not find all of them. This, to me, is mildly disturbing, and not for "spooky" reasons.
For myself, I'm a total organ donor, and I amuse myself with the thought that my bony parts might be reassembled into an instructional skeleton and wheeled around from day to day to various classrooms of the University of Colorado Medical Center. Any remains left from the dissection can be cremated and scattered over my old favorite squirrel hunting ground.
