Guatemala s Volcán de Fuego has been erupting vigorously since 2002 with reported eruptions dating back to 1531. These eruptions have resulted in major ashfalls, pyroclastic flows, lava flows, and damaging lahars, including a series of explosions and pyroclastic flows in early June 2018 that caused several hundred fatalities. Eruptive activity consisting of explosions with ash emissions, block avalanches, and lava flows began again after a short break and has continued; activity during August-November 2020 is covered in this report.

Nowadays, you’d jump through all kinds of red tape and bureaucratic hoops, face down public protests, before finally relocating the bones and paying a fat sum for the privilege.
In the past, things weren’t so strict. You took the bones and gave them well, a new lease of life. As a chapel.
