Some ways one could approach it:
Religious: the body is connected to a spirit and should be protected.
Familial: the body is scared to individuals who knew the person.
Cultural:; the body represents a current people, and to exhume it makes them feel dehumanized.
Legal: the body is property and property rights are to be respected.
Seems like with ancient Egyptian mummies none of those are relevant. The modern Egyptians have moved on from the old faiths, none trace their lineage to those mummies, culturally they are proud of them, legally there has been too much churn for the old claims to be relevant.
