DEF

[Acción de] desenterrar un cadáver o restos humanos.

OBS

exhumación: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que "exhumación" se utiliza para referirse a restos humanos y no a un lugar, como una fosa. La expresión "exhumación de una fosa" no es recomendable pues lo que se hace es abrirla para exhumar los restos que hay en ella. En su lugar, "apertura de una fosa" es una alternativa apropiada.
