Located on the edge of a lake in the crater of a recently active volcano, accessible only by boat. Bodies are not buried, but placed out in baskets to decompose (or be eaten by wildlife). After bones are bare, they take them out, clean them and then display the bones.

My buddy & I hired a boat & guide to get out there. Whole area was deserted until another boat showed up with ~ 20 local guys insisting on a "contribution". (Didn't give it to them - only later did the potential issues with that sink home).
