That would be massively influenced by culture. An atheist materialist from the West is going to have a totally different view to someone from a culture where burial has all sorts of codified behaviours and beliefs associated with it.

The point I'm trying to make (badly) is that at some point bodies are returned to the earth.

Otherwise the whole planet is a gravesite and we cannot farm/build or exist without unintentionally desecrating graves.

No one’s talking about farming, they’re digging up actual graves.
Are you intentionally missing the point?
No, you just weren’t making as much of one as you think.
Ok, if you understood the point how about arguing that instead of trying to derail the conversation.

I expect better honestly.

Ok, here it is fully spelled out: your argument about unintentionally desecrating graves is completely irrelevant to a question of intentionally desecrating graves.
