History has a lot to teach us. By not examining burial sites knowledge is lost. The spirits who's bodies are buried have moved on don't get stuck on form or belief that culture is static. Ignoring a culture is probably more disgusting.

Desecrating a burial site, rifling through a person's belongings, exposing their body to the elements and moving them to away from their preferred resting place to a basement. I think that this constitutes ignoring a culture.
