The problem with only doing it during the hours of darkness is that the legions of zombies also prowl the cemeteries at the same time and it can lead to all sorts of delays -"After you", "No after you", "No I insist, after you".

Exhuming a Deceased Body
Exhumations are generally rare and tend to be very traumatic for the family involved. They can take a long time to arrange and are usually expensive. The Exhumation of both buried and cremated remains generally requires a Licence from the Department of Constitutional Affairs (DCA).
Exhumation occur for a number of reasons
movement from the original grave to a subsequently acquired family plot in the same or other cemetery.
repatriation overseas to be buried along with other family.
transfer from one cemetery scheduled for development to another or
court orders requiring further forensic examination.
However it is an offence to exhume any human remains without first obtaining the necessary lawful permission. Generally funeral directors can help in obtaining these.
a licence must be obtained which will also contain conditions that have to be observed.
if a person is buried in Consecrated grounds, permission from the church must also be obtained.
an Environmental Health Officer must be present at the exhumation of a body to ensure that their is no threat to public health
occasionally a cadaver certificate is required in addition to the exhumation licence.

Why would you think that? Body snatching was commonplace but always illegal in Britain, as elsewhere to provide cadavers for medical studies in medical schools up until about 1900. Body snatching was a very good lucrative business until finally the countries and the cities allowed medical schools to get the unclaimed bodies of the deceased at the city morgues

It is not true, however a court order would be required for an exhumation to take place.

yes but only if you have HP brown sauce and wedges to accompany the body. Enjoy! What a crazy question! Worrying!
