“…The bill also would provide assistance to rebury human remains uncovered during the hurricanes at private or private nonprofit cemeteries.
In Cameron Parish alone, nearly 350 bodies, crypts and caskets had to be reburied after Hurricane Rita at a cost of up to $800 each, Boustany said. FEMA was not authorized to reimburse local mortuaries for the expense of reburying them, he said.”
