That is what Saul did.
A saint's body found to be be incorruptible
is nothing like necromancy.

Ok, I see
But this body seems to be quite corruptible
except through a preservative process
an embalmer would love (I've known many)

And maintaining a illusion of Incorruptibility for the Laity
Is seriously bizarre

There are true cases of incorruptible saints. See the book by Joan Carroll Cruz, "The Incorruptibles". This article seems focused primarily on the ones that aren't authentically incorruptible and which, if these accounts are accurate, cannot be condoned.
