As the water rose in Lafitte during Ida, it picked up caskets and tombs with it.
Now, loved ones are missing from their resting place and the Louisiana Cemetery Task Force is working to put them back.
"It's a disaster to see it the way it is," Norman Bouisse said.
Bouisse lives next to the Adams Cemetery in Lafitte.
"You can see it's leaning," he said pointing to a grave. "Pretty much every time we get high water most of the graves pop out and they have to put them back in place. It's been like that for years."
Across the bayou, his mother and brother are buried. He hasn't been able to check yet, but worries he could find the same there.
"The water was just as high or higher," he said.
Graves are on top of each other, leaning, and in some cases missing completely from the cemetery.
"There's some here and there, under peoples houses, front yards, back yards," Troy Bolotte said.
