In the Greek Orthodox religion, a traditional commemoration and blessing of the bones ceremony three, five, or seven years after one's death, depending upon local custom, called Trisagion includes the scraping of the bones. It has nothing to do with vampires. In Greece it is standard practice. Rather, it is to make room for subsequent burials in the same family tomb, similar to the practice in Louisiana http://www.storyvilledistrictnola.com/cemeteries.html.
