 Recycling coffins

Now I know this sounds like an insane, morbid and disrespectful (of the dead) thing to do, but thinking about it rationally, it makes a lot of sense. Coffins are worth a lot of money so its wasteful leaving them buried in the ground like that. I'm fairly sure the corpses inside them won't mind. Now starting up a business like this would require a serious investment, lots of planning and preparation but if done right, there would be no visible evidence that a coffin has been exhumed and nobody would ever know.
Getting a small group together with shovels and ropes would be completely infeasible. Realistically you'd need a mini digger and a decent hoisting system to exhume the coffin. I can't remember the word for these things so I'll call them hammocks for now. The coffin should be opened prior to hoisting so it can be tipped over in order to dump the corpse back into the grave. After that, you place it on a wheelbarrow type device then roll it up a ramp into the back of a van. You take it back to a garage or wherever and clean it up. High end coffins can cost €15,000. Not bad for a nights work.

No way you could pull it off, its far too noticeable.

Yeah thats what I was thinking about but the graveyard in which my grandfather is buried is in between two towns, there are no houses or anything nearby. The road that passes it is pretty isolated at night so two lookouts could signal the crew to halt activity while a car passes by. It would be very noisy so of course you couldn't do it in a city graveyard but there are plenty of graveyards outside of towns.
Another approach would be to do it in broad daylight in front of people. If you looked like a professional crew, people would be far more likely to assume you are doing something legitimate as opposed to stealing coffins. People often request to be buried on top of their relatives so it wouldn't look to unusual seeing a crew digging up a marked grave.
EDIT: No, this wouldn't be feasible. You'd need a crew of at least 5 people, would need to rent machinery and it would be a very time consuming process. The average coffin only costs around €2,000. Stealing gravestones may be more economically viable but I'm ethically opposed to that because the family members of the deceased wouldn't be too happy about that. I just hate the idea of expensive items getting dumped in the ground like that.

Better watch out for the undertaker
But seriously, theres usually a house or something in the joint where an undertaker or something will work, like security or something. Usually security come past as well, for sick fucks who like to dig up the bodies for sex and that.

They have this here in The States. You rent a fancy coffin for the viewing and then they put you into a less fancy one to be buried. It's not common, but this is already an actual thing.
