The incorrupt body of Archbishop Dimitri (OCA) exhumed almost five years after his burial. He was not embalmed per-Orthodox burial custom.
See the story from Rod Dreher.

I always loved the story about Metropolitan Phillip in his clerical suit greeting Archbishop Dmitri in his cassock and klobuk, "Why Your Eminence, you look like a bishop from the Old Country," to which Archbishop Dmitri replied, "Why, Your Eminence, for some of us, this is the Old Country!"
Maybe this is a sign to prod the upcoming Council to stop regarding Orthodox outside of traditionally Orthodox lands as being "the Diaspora".
St. Dmitri of Dallas, pray for us!
