Cool. so what is your great grandfathers name and do you think he should be dug up. Aftr all it is for science.

My great granddad has already been dug up. Sweetwater graveyard was moved years ago when Fort Rucker was expanded. We knew it in my childhood as Camp Rucker.

There is an unbelieveable and gruesome story associated with that graveyard and the move if you want to hear it.

Blam, wasn't your great-grandfather cremated after he died in Africa while on Safari? Seems there was some discussion about it.

Actually, it's for history. Was your great grandfather embalmed? Put in a fancy box? Buried with lots of other dead people under a big, fancy grave marker? Then he is, or will be, a legitimate subject for history. Especially when the culture which buried him disappears and their rites become essentially meaningless. If you're so concerned about archaeologists digging you up thousands of years after everyone has forgotten you, then make sure there's nothing left for them to dig up.
