Many have been exhumed without the family present; my dad for example. It may have been a rule or more likely that the family are still there that would be notified of the pending exhumation. Attendance may be mandatory in that instance. However, I know my father's family is still there and there was no family present Not even sure if they knew what was going on at that time.
It's one thing to experience a burial. I can't imagine experiencing an exhumation. Extremely heartbreaking.
