I really don't understand why people care so much about their ancestors bones. I could understand why you don't want a relative you actually knew dug up, but if they are even several generations back, why does it bother one? I am not trying to start a fight, I would really like to understand.
Especially if there is some scientific interest.

It's kind of like a tradition ~ keeping the old folks in the ground. Exhumation should be brief if there are any valid studies to be done. There's really no excuse for you getting your grubby hands on my ancestor's bones and putting them on display like some kind of trophy of conquest.

In fact, such behavior is ghoulish!
