Unfortunately, that doesn’t fully qualify as a “Joke”, because there are some cultures who really will do what you just described if no one gets in their way.

In Indonesia: Every 5 to 7 years, the Malagasy families open their ancestral tombs. They remove the bones, rewrap them in fresh silk cloth, and dance with them to live music. The practice is calledFamadihana, or ‘the turning of the bones’.
And it’s a festival of love,, reunion and respect.
