The only people for whom it really matters is their descendants or people who cared about them.
The dead is gone, there is no difference for them if their image, or their bodies are disrespected.

Once I am dead though, there is no me here to respect any more. Death is complete separation from this world. The vast majority of people who have ever died are completely lost to memory, whether they wanted that fate or not. And for those we do still remember, they’re long past having the ability to care at all what happens to what they left behind. Whether through nothingness or an afterlife, they are no longer here.
We've evolved to care about our descendants, not our ancestors.
Majority of people dying were civilians.
