"I didn't know that Oswald's body was exhumed and reburied."

So was JFK's. The original grave was temporary until they constructed the existing one with the eternal flame. There was a re-internment into the new grave.

JFK's original casket was taken on a plane and dropped into the ocean.

Seriously? I understand the reinterment and all, but why destroy the casket? I suppose to prevent some ghoul from buying a macabre memento. But it also destroyed a part of history.

Bizarre.
