Brisbane families are concerned after Brisbane City Council revealed graves are intentionally flooded after burials at Mount Gravatt Cemetery.

Brisbane resident Doreen Awabdy (Ah-wab-dy) says the council broke ethical and moral boundaries by not informing the family of planned water damage prior to paying over 6000 dollars to bury their loved ones at the site.

Councillor Steve Griffiths says burial sites are filled with water overnight  to avoid the ground moving or sinking in accordance with best practice maintenance guidelines.
