Would you be as sanguine if it were your grandparents or parents graves that were at risk, Susie?

The short answer is yes. Behind my house is a cemetery opened in 1874 and now closed. It is full to bursting with thousands of graves only some of which have memorials. There is no empty space. It is used every day by hundreds of people to get from A to B and many of them walk on the grass rather than keep to the tarmac path. Children play there and it is a welcome green space. As yet no one has complained about sacrilege and all the bodies are still sleeping peacefully. To me once someone is dead what happens to their body is immaterial. They are gone.
