Re reinterment or similar, that is quite right. I once visited Hallstatt in Austria which is a small town huddled between the mountains and a lake and with not much flat land. Bodies are disinterred from the graves after so many years and the bones neatly piled in an ossuary; in fact they even paint the skulls with decorations.
