Interesting points Troll. I think 'exhumation' is quite a loaded word and has connotations that are quite different to the phrase 'research excavation of burials'. I understand that your faith means that you are opposed to the excavation of unthreatened burials, but I personally believe that excavation of unthreatened burials is justified (for a number of reasons differing from cases to case). However, your final point is perhaps the most pertinent: who decides? There are clearly differing well thought out views, and who mediates those is an interesting and not clear (to me).
