Since the book was published, the question I seem to be asked most frequently is whether or not Brown’s descriptions of the House of the Temple are accurate. So, let’s cover some of these “facts” for you.........
Crypts
“The interior was an ornate labyrinth of ritualistic chambers, halls, sealed vaults, libraries, and even a hollow wall that held the remains of two human bodies.” (p. 4)
Fact: In 1944 and 1953, special Acts of the United States Congress allowed the remains of Albert Pike and, later, John Henry Cowles to be placed in vaults in the House of the Temple. Both men served as Sovereign Grand Commander of the Supreme Council. Memorial busts of Pike and Cowles, each on a marble pedestal, were added at that time.

It's not accusations, it's fact. If you take the tour, you can go right to the spot where they are at. They each have a bust of their faces and a plaque explaining why they are there. Is it a bit creepy? Yea.

Just out of curiosity if you were stuffed and mounted and used as an eastern star officer, do you think anyone would notice your condition?

Logically, one would suggest that bodies should be more 'interactive' (for lack of a better word) when the soul is inside the body.
It's just conditioning, methinks - no spiritual or religious reason why a body (or part thereof) should be creepy. Just a psychological result of our social conditioning, no?
Any other explanation why human remains should be considered creepy?
