In recent times, the late singer Paul Kafeero's family has been shown in the news. They want to dig up his grave and to access his body due to wrangles relating to paternity disputes. See: https://bit.ly/2PA5Qbv
It is illegal to dig up graves without permission. It is a criminal offence called "disturbing the peace of the dead"; and can attract a criminal penalty.
Other acts that may amount to this offence include; mutilating the deceased's body and intentionally doing any other thing on the burial place which is considered offensive to the deceased or their family.
Be careful not to tamper with graves and to follow proper procedures while exhuming graves of the deceased, as you may end up attracting a criminal sanction.
