Reading the spell explains the spell
>Target: Dead creature touched
Also if you read literally any book in 3e it's very clear that this is the intended reading, including critically the ELH which talks about ways of getting around deities.
Bonus deity references:
>This ability works like the true resurrection spell [Gift of Life]
>This ability works across planar boundaries and penetrates any barrier except a divine shield. However, the subject must be in a location the deity can sense, either within the deity’s sense range or in a location the deity can perceive through its remote sensing ability. [Life and Death]
>The ability is otherwise identical with the Life and Death salient divine ability. [Mass Life and Death]

>you could
It's unambiguous. There's a proviso for being able to use it without a body but you still need to touch the targeted body otherwise, and it's also clearly how the developers think it works.

That would be jumping through hoops to try to justify something that's disproved by looking at the spell for even half a second.
Also it doesn't justify it at all. It's purely you making text up that exists nowhere in the game. If the developers wanted it to work that way, they would have written that it does. ELH written by the same people on the same design team clearly indicates that moving the body to an inaccessible location prevents even dieties from reviving them, and that NPCs do this in-universe because they know it works (as was quoted).
