Why? Why should they be afforded more consideration then they afforded their victim? What if their victim was part of one of those religions where the body must be whole, yet the murderer decapitated the victim??

You're right, it's not up to me to judge...but it is up to the legal system to judge.

Maybe because I think that we as a society should be more humane than those that take lives? Maybe because I view all life as precious?

And the legal system obviously thinks that prisioners should be accorded the right to have their death observed in accordance to their religion.
