Since the Ancient Egyptian gravegoods economy depended on grave-robbing (even openly - Smenkare's good being reused for Tut), that was just recycling! Modern archaeologists treat the bodies with more respect than those ancient robbers did.

There are other, worse disrespects. Bulldozing graves, while relatives are still alive, to make room for development. I know of one place in Kent where a small disused timber non-conformist chapel was demolished and a house built. not being CofE, there were not the legal requirements which would have allowed people to know what was being done, until too late. No-one's lived there very long.
