In Search of Cervantes’s Casket

When I die super famous and having made a profound impact on history, please let my body decompose in peace.
Sadly we feel the dichotomy that a lot of spaniards, (brothers, sisters, fathers, uncles and mothers of somebody) murdered in the civil war and buried at night as dogs in roads and fields can NOT be recovered for this relatives (is logically forbidden to exhume a body without a order, an order delaying for more than 70 years). Absolute lack of interest and deliberate obstruction of the part of the autorities.
There is nothing disrespectful here, au contraire, it is about respect.
