The short answer is yes, you can sue. Every so often, you hear of a case of cemetery or mortuary negligence, whether it be in the handling of the deceased person's remains, the burial, or some other issue. I am curious about some of your description. Did your father's casket come out of the ground because of the water? Have you determined if there are any damages? Do you know who/what caused the pipe to burst, assuming that was the cause? These are initial questions that I would want to know more about.
