Merrick Cemetery, St Bernard Parish, Louisiana, USA.
Hurricane Katrina 9 years later.
A few miles south of the Orleans parish line, crumbling concrete tombs reveal their contents. Recovered remains were placed in new coffins FEMA paid to be reburied following their uprooting by Hurricane Katrina. Today the temporary tombs appear to have become the permanent resting place for many of the dead displaced by hurricane Katrina.
