I've been thinking about that one as well.

Plan a few viral outbreaks in areas.  After extensive research, the CDC 
reports that the vector was from several recently deceased bodies.  A new 
disease has manifested itself.

 From these beginnings you start to change society's habits about burial 
procedures.  You start with medical encouragement of cremation or at least 
rapid "processing" of the deceased.  Once a supply of harrowed is 
guaranteed (with the cyborg process) you stage another viral outbreak 
(possibly with fatalities this time) and force such procedures into law.
