I don't think such information is worth violating the final wishes of our elders. I doubt any of those people died thinking that someone was going to come to rifle through their belongings and put them in a drawer.

That's valid, it's just a minority view. Most societies aren't willing to interfere with recent graves without good cause, but few have any great concern for exhuming very old graves.
