There are bodies EVERYWHERE.
One of my London colleges said its about $25K (mid 90s money) to exhume / archeologically dig out each body. His church was adding a wing & found 36 bodies...

In reply to Kendall_Jones:
Bodies can be found anywhere in a country with a history as rich as the UK.
There may be more government-monitored CCTV's per capita (in the UK) than there are corpse's waiting for exhumation.
Which is creepier?
That, and Vikings were awesome!
"To find out that the young men executed were Vikings is a thrilling development,"
...you know, unless you're a Viking...

You mean this Viking?
That's not just limited to overseas.
From Wikipedia about New York City's Washington Square: To this day, the remains of more than 20,000 bodies rest under Washington Square. More on that particular topic: http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/01/23/bones-evoke-washington-square-parks-past/

The bodies are everywhere. There were plans to renovate the 110 year old bus depot I work out of but they are being fought because it was a slave burial ground before it became a trolley barn.

Given the way people were buried in consecrated ground for centuries - usually on top of each other due to limited space - that's not that big a surprised. Down here in semi-rural England, a lot of the small old village churches still have the old cemetery around them. Even the one down the road from me has, and that's a bit newer (ie, not medieval).
I be scottish but I also be viking....

A church cemetery might be a bit different than a mass grave (full of headless bodies :) ). Up in northern MI (and other parts of US I imagine, it was common place to bury folks on the family farm (however they are well marked)
I was joking about the creepy thing, I actually think its pretty sweet. I've walked parts of Hadrians wall & found it fascinating that the Romans used to hang out there :)

For a $25.00 fee you can bury your kin on your own land in these here parts. Just has to be more that 5 acres if I remember correctly.
