<p>The reason the Fourth couldn't be summoned was because his soul was sealed through a sealing technique he used to seal the kyuubi.</p>

Because orochimaru sacrificed his life (he went into a new body after) to break the seal of the shinigami,so he could Simon the previous hokage

<p>In <em>Naruto</em>, we have seen that Orochimaru summons the coffins of both, the 1st and 2nd Hokage, and uses them to fight against the 3rd Hokage. Also in Shippuden Season 2, he tells that he experimented with the 1st Hokage's body to make Yamato. Why didn't the coffins of both the Hokage have any seals on them, so that no one could humiliate their bodies?</p>

Obviously, they did have seals. (rarely, but maybe not?, but I highly doubt it). But do you think they couldn't just "un-seal" them? or break the seals? with there power *and knowledge*, it wouldn't be to hard.
