I'd say because it's a church. There's an actual firm belief you're 
somewhere else. And the monks dedicated their lives to the church.

I think it's hard to be disrespectful if the dead person wanted you to do 
that. Is it more or less disrespectful than donating your organs for 
transplants?  The monks knew it would happen, probably asked for it, 
possibly even indicated what part of the church they wanted to be decorating 
for the rest of eternity. :-)
