This actually does happen I’m living proof of it. My dad was murdered when I was six months old when my grandma went to go pick up the stuff that was left at the grave the day of his funeral she noticed that his grave had never been dug but she noticed somewhere else there was a grave that was freshly made after arguing with the funeral home she ended up getting a lawyer eventually they didn’t want to cause a court case about it so they took it out to prove her wrong only my grandma was right they buried my dad in the wrong spot. He is now in the correct place or he has been resting for 30 years

When the family is proven wrong, they should have to pay the expenses for digging that grave up.

At my grandpa's wake, they gotten the bodies mixed up. Instead of my grandpa, it was another man. What was really crazy was that my family knew the man who passed away and contacted his family. When we told them that he wasn't my grandpa, they didn't believe us. My family continued to say "we knows what he looks like and this isn't him". They tried to say it was makeup making him look different. Come to find out, we were correct. After a couple hours they finally came out with my grandpa. The other man family wasn't supposed to viewing him until 3 days later. Let's talk about a horrific day. R.I.P Grandpa I love and miss you bestfriend! ❤️🙏🏽

What a grave situation..I'll keep digging until I get to the bottom of this..

For everyone wondering what the outcome of the story is...the family was DEAD wrong. Haha but seriously, I hope they are embarrassed by their ridiculous accusations and the way they acted. If I was the father I would be rolling around in my casket down there.

My little brother died in 1975 so my parents bought two other plots as well so they would be together (my brothers was the one on the right), then my little sister died 2 months later, so they decided that when they died, to be buried together in double deep grave. We couldn't understand then, why they dug my sisters grave double deep, that wasn't until my dad was dying and my mum & I went to start the arrangements for my dads burial, we found out that my brother was not in the grave that had been purchased, he was in the one to the right that wasn't one of the ones my parents had paid for, so they were given that one & got to keep the other 3, otherwise they could have been sued (seeing we had been visiting, &, putting flowers on a grave that was empty for all of those years), plus, they would have had to exhume my brother which would have cost them a lot too. No matter what the job, people can make mistakes, even heartbreaking ones.

You can tell she’s been a mess her whole damn life

It is more common than the public knows. As a former cemetery manager, I left my position after I heard the unethical orders from the owners of the cemetery to move children's graves from decades ago since family does not visit anymore to make room for new plots. He even demanded in orders for me to do Muitiple graves in one. I was totally disgusted and left my position immediately with reporting to police and news channels back then to expose these crimes without morals from the owners. The sad thing is, these owners owned two cemeteries in New Orleans Louisiana and one in Tampa, Florida back then. No clue what they own today.

"I don't care if we gotta dig 'em back up". 😂😂😂😂😂

Wow. The owner sounds like a stand up respectful, honest guy. Has that calm demeaner only someone dealing with grieving or hysterical loved ones can have. God Bless him because you know his stress level wass an 11 on a scale from 1-10. Trying to calm this woman down while she screaming and twlling news people they are burying people on top of people and moving graves around. Good grief. Yep. Any body in the business of funeral care deserves an award.

So what was the outcome. No sense posting unless the outcome is as well.

She was proven wrong. They should have pushed her and that factory wig in the vault for her stage preformance.

Several of my relatives are insisting that this same thing happened with my Grandmothers grave. I know for a fact it hasn't. She is buried next to my Grandfather. Her headstone was already in place before her death. In my cousins eyes for some reason they believe that when my Grandmother died they dug my Grandfather up and buried the both of them in a different part of the cemetery for some crazy, evil reason. I have photos of the grave BEFORE she died. I have documents showing what plot her and her husband purchased many years ago before their deaths. I have showed this to my cousins and they still don't believe it. These people have only been to that cemetery 2-3 times and I have been there countless times. Some people, when a idea gets planted in their heads they just don't believe anything else and nothing will convince them otherwise.

10 years ago there was a black mortuary that was caught in Atlanta selling the same caskets and vaults and grave sites The family would watch their loved one go into the ground .And then they would remove it and do it all over again .The sick part was they were putting the bodies in a concrete storage and they were piled up on top of each other .The police said it would take years to identify who the bones belonged too .Last I heard some of the family members went to jail . Not sure if they stayed in business .But when family members came to visit the graves of their loved one just like this lady they complained about the same thing .Then the police asked everyone on tv if they had a loved one one buried there to come down and see if their loved one was where they were suppose to be and the rest was history .

If it's only been about 3 weeks since he was buried, why does the grave site look like it's been a few years since anyone was buried there?

I worked in a cemetery for about 11 years. When you have the set up and what I mean by that is the tent and greens they put down things look different. With people grieving things look different. I am not saying mistakes are not made but at our cemetery we went through great lengths to make sure people were laid to rest correctly.

I think the family was trying to get a pay paid, but when the funeral home was like, "yeah we'll dig your daddy up and show you we didn't mess up." it foiled their plans.

Seems like someone was obviously & rightfully upset over the death of their family member & stemming from this upset they were confused by the actual location of the grave & they freaked out & overreacted. Now they probably realize they are wrong but they have made such a big deal out of it that they have to keep going with this absurd accusation.

U know she's looking for a handout and a check.

One guy showed me where my grandmother was laid to rest. A year later another guy showed me different spot!!! A head stone was placed at the second spot!! I protested to no avail ! 😔😔😔 I will never go back again !!! But I know she is resting in Jesus !! 😇✌👏👋🙏

The cemetery should sue the family.

My mother in law was buried on Monday. The ground was covered with green cloth and my poor husband was worried that his sister was NOT buried next to her. The next day, we went to the cemetery and found indeed she was buried next to her daughter.

The reporter invented a new word ; Mistakend.

I have always taken flowers to my parents and my Great Nephew's grave. My Nephew and his wife bought the plots on each side of of their baby. I went out to put flowers out and seen that a person was buried beside him. We contacted the funeral home, they dug up the person and re- buried him. I have not been back since Covid started.

I run a cemetery and there’s no purpose to move people after they’re buried unless the family wants them moved . Also they’re using concrete vaults which is very heavy to move and wouldn’t be something you just do easily

When I bought my parent's plots, I went up to the cemetery with 2 little old ladies who was about 150 years old old with hand written notebooks from the 1800s and a tape measure. They knew were every blade of grass was. Took us about 4.5 hours get everything lined up (one fell in the process) but there was no worry about being buried on top of someone.

Going through the same thing with my grandfathers remains!! He has been deceased since 85 and after a hurricane here in NC they claimed his casket washed up and that his remains were held for a year in the state medical examiners officer where no one tried to contact my family. They buried 18 bodies in a mass grave and the only way we found out my granddaddy was missing is by chance. So now we have a lawsuit pending against the state. Now he was buried next to my grandma how come she didn’t come up too! So now we had to submit DNA to Match dna taken from 1of 18 bodies that they didn’t even have the decency to contact the next of kin and they knew which graves were empty. Mind you this is 2 years after the storm!!

"I'm convince. Very convince."

That lady is nuts. She just forgot where he was exactly buried and won't take anyone else's word for it. I believe we all probably have went to a cemetery at one point or another looking for a grave of a relative, sometimes it can be next to impossible to find even though you have visited it in the past. Especially in a cemetery like that one where all the headstones lay perfectly flat.

These family members act as if grandpa knows where his body is.

My uncle before he passed away from lung cancer in 1989 he said he didn't trust funeral directors or cemetery people. That he want someone to wait until he is in his casket and vault placed in the ground. I've been the last person to leave the cemetery of each of my family members internment. That was 1989 the last burial was my youngest Sister that died from breast cancer. And I can tell you the cemetery workers tried to make me leave only once...I found it unsual....and I stayed 1/12 hours for them to bury my sister....and I wasn't leaving and didn't leave until her casket was lowered and she was buried. I later found out that cemetery workers was arrested for grave robbing. Someone of the family needs to stay until the end and your loved one is properly buried.

My great grandmas grave was dug up to make way for apartments. My house was built on an native mound, most house are built on ancient mounds.....

I contacted the funeral home and the family of the deceased was wrong! Anyone can make a mistake especially in such a sensitive situation. However, my problem is the fact that the loud mouth, ghetto-fab woman made it public and had she been right we would've seen her broadcasting it to the world several more times while waiting for compensation for pain, suffering & mental anguish, now she should be just loud, on TV apologizing for her accusations. These type of accusations can hurt that funeral home's reputation & we work too hard in this business to earn the trust & respect of those we serve.

my question is, just how often does the family, or she, visit the grave?

A certain cemetary in my city has been moving tombstones for years. My aunt and uncle's stones have been moved so many times they're almost on one of the concrete roads in the cemetary. (They were buried next to each other) We had to search for them. Now I suspect another cemetary in this city has started doing the same thing. Sad situation. You get mistreated in life, now they mistreat you in death too. Discusting.

Somewhere her family members are shaking their heads in embarrassment and disbelief.

MAJOR UPDATE: That cemetery was found guilty and got sued of tampering with the graves, caskets & deceased, she wasnt the only person who filled lawsuits.

This video is obviously old - 2016. Just to let everyone know she was proven wrong about this. I don't know what confused her, but maybe it was this. At both of my parents funerals they had what i believe was called a false grave. They explained it to me beforehand. It was near the actual grave, but was closer to where the hearse parked so pallbearers didnt have to carry the casket as far. After the service the cemetery workers move the coffin to the actual grave. If someone didnt know this and came back later they would think something was wrong. Just speculating, maybe that is what caused her confusion.

I know at the cemetery I work for, we had a guy dig out the wrong space before. He decided to dig without having the space blind checked. Advisors found out quickly he dug in wrong place prior to placement. There is usually 2 or 3 people who flag and confirm before digging. The guy who dug out the space is no longer with us.

My mom purchased the site in the best part of cemetery. We went to check day before funeral and they were digging on a slope by a creek. We had to have the funeral there and have him moved the next day. Funeral homes are shady and make a lot of mistakes

Their receipt would have a Plot Number -

I feel for this lady this actually happened to myself when my father passed away they put him in the wrong cemetery plot and when they did finally put him in the correct spot they tried to charge us all over again pretty sad when you have to sue a cemetery

UPDATE: The family was incorrect, the body was where it was originally located.

We have to understand she was still greiving over the loss. And we need to be more respectful to her and her family. This could have been one of our family members. Let's us pray.

If the family is willing to pay for the exhumation, and the cemetery is willing to do whatever it takes, then this shouldn't take long.

I’m Jamaican in heritage living in the U.K and we always backfill the grave ourselves.

The woman is clearly upset. It’s sad to think she believed her fathers final resting place was disturbed.

"I wouldn't care if we gotta dig em' back up." LMFAOOOO. 😂💀💀

This is why I don't bury my victims in cemeteries.

In this business we're blamed for everything and most of the time it's the ppl that didn't have any money that cause the most problems. For instance, they'll have just enough to cover the casket but we'll still throw in extras like the limo/family car & programs then they'll call and say the car wasn't big enough, they didn't like the programs because it didn't have as many pics as they wanted. When you don't have money yet insist on a ground burial, PLOTS COST MONEY PLUS A FEE FOR OPENING/CLOSING THE GRAVE, so you find one that only cost 100.00. Well, you get what you pay for ,and after a few years you decide it's time to visit mom, dad, nanny, grampy, Aunt Lucy Mae's grave but either you can't find it, or can't get to it because the grass is taller than you. Now, you jump in your car headed straight to the funeral home going 100 MPH to act a fool with us when it's your fault you didn't buy/make marker nor didn't keep up the grave. A 100.00 plot won't pay for perpetual care and most likely the funeral home doesn't own the cemetery. Death is certain and we all know it yet you'll plan & save for houses, vacations, college, retirement & weddings but not for death then when something happens you have to figure out where that nice chunk of change coming from in a very short amount of time. People will say if you need anything just call me,but they don't mean, it's just a typical statement under those circumstances. The first time to you call you'll get an answer until you ask for the money after that something will be wrong with that phone & it's straight to the voicemail until after the funeral. Everybody needs life insurance however burial insurance and pre-need arrangements are options. Life is better because it's a set amount and after the service is paid for you get the balance. Funerals are costly and you still have to live afterward.

That sucks I hope everything works out.

Shame on the family. THEY should be sued. People will read about their concerns but then not see the update that they were wrong and still have negative feelings for the poor funeral director.

It takes a lot of work and heavy equipment to move a loaded vault. I bet they weren't paying good attention when the photo was taken.

You can look at the picture, he is clearly beside the other headstone. Now look at the video, the new grave is one row down from that same stone. He man is where he is supposed to be, she's looking at a brand new grave in another row. Would love to see how this turned out. She's looking at $$$$$ signs, not the grave site.

Imagine you’re just resting in peace, and all of the sudden the news team is walking on your grave doing a story about how one of your neighbors may or may not have been given the wrong bed

If they attended the burial then they should already know what grave the person is in. Sounds to me like they're trying to extort the cemetery.

Anyone here for 2019? I want to explain that a dead body is just that, a body. The essence of what made that body is gone to another place. Once the Soul and Spirit are gone, the empty "vessel"...the body is just that, empty. So it doesn't matter where one puts the body. I feel for this woman but I would hope people realize there is no one home. Grief is all that is left for the ones left behind.

I don't suppose it occurred to this ranting woman that it would cost the cemetery quite a bit more in time and machinery to dig up her father, move his coffin to another location, bury him there, and then bury a different person where her father was originally. That's just not cost-effective in a cemetery that obviously has ample room for fresh graves. Where is the grave marker for her father? I didn't see one and THAT would have moved as well, leaving an imprint where it had previously been, even after only a few days (ask any kid who has ever moved a rock from one place to another to see what would happen underneath and how long it would take).

Soooo, this was in 2016,,, could you please post and "update" so we all may know what the outcome was? Inquiring minds want to know, Thank you

I think that the fact the daughter was gravely mistaken and Mr. Coleman was Dead center where the cemetery said he was, she should be charged with slander.

That's Atlanta for ya

Wonder how this was resolved since it's been about 2 years?

COULDN'T EVEN BUY A BURIAL PLAQUE FOR THAT PERSON ..SAD

Where my Father & Brother are buried in Atlanta, just beside a church, through the many years the church congregation dwindled to just a few & the church property has changed hand at least twice in recent years, the old church did a fair job of maintaining the church & the cemetery property, but the new owners- do absolutely nothing to care for the cemetery & the gravesite right out their side doors, I live a few hours away & try to visit a couple times a year , But generally spend a long weekend working 2 full days to cut back many months of overgrowth, to add insult to injury the county had purchased & developed the land behind the cemetery, causing massive erosion from the cemetery side, and plots are sinking & washing away, including my Father & brother... but not living locally, It's difficult to get any answers, All I know is the new owner- do not speak English, and are not Christian, and do not care or respect the deceased.

"You moved the headstones but you didn't move the bodies! "

She very convince very CONVINCE.

something similar happened to my friend's father's relative, so when my friend died, his father waited until he saw his son put into the ground to be sure.

Lol i remember this story now they were on the news a few times. They were wrong and last i heard there was a lawsuit against the family to pay for all the digging they did just to prove it

The lady clearly has mental health issues.

come on people we are all created equal..... I love u all😁 peace!!!

My brother died in 2007 we buried him July 25 ,2007 mother about 3 maybe gets a phone call from the cemetery stating they have to move him because he was buried in somebody else's plot the only thing they said they could do was move him and they gave j him his own grave and told my mother and his son that they would give him the grave right next to him for nothing because of the mistake they had made

Did I miss something?? Was her Father in the grave they exhumed????? Did I miss that??? 😥

I'm sorry but, Can we talk about the Reporters name?

Why was an empty vault buried to begin with?

The problem with grieving is on the day, you think one thing and then when you look at pics, it's another. And all it takes is one person so obsessed with being right, that you have to jump through hoops to show them what they need. I hope she was satisfied with the answer, but I doubt she ever will be.

I had someone like this messing with my grandmas nephew who was dead. Some man who was supposed to be just mowing the lawn called his two sons up and told them to bring a bulldozer and they started digging some graves up for no reason.

Please tell me? In the United Kingdom, our deepest graves are 21 feet deep! This is for up to 3 people/family buried on top of each other. This allows 7 feet deep between each! Looking at this buriel, at best, it looks like 2 feet? A bit shallow?

Very sad. Yes it happens sometimes.

That Poor Family. I Believe the Family. I pray that everything works out for them & that they find PEACE !!!!!!!!!

It’s like when I can’t find my nail clipper so I curse out everyone in the house and a week later I find it under my chair.

Wow dont smoke crack

That cemetery VP has got one smooooooth voice

As the child of a lifelong mortuary worker, I can tell you that the client/ family is ALWAYS wrong.

If I was their dad, I would never speak to them again.

It is very confusing when you bury someone at the cemetery, when they have the area covered with Astro turf and its hard to get your bearings on the exact location. Imagine being all upset. Your not paying that much attention to your surroundings. If I went back later to the spot I though was and there was an empty vault, I would definitely get freaked out.

Hopefully the family doesnt stiff them for the bill.....

My question is why would the funeral home bury a empty vault. That makes no sense

If that was in my cemetery, I would have opened the grave and confirmed the identity that day. The funeral director is correct. There is no doubt about the grave location after looking at the picture.

And yet another reason I am moving forward to becoming a funeral director

We had the same problem in our cemetery we had been putting flowers on wrong grave the grave diggers said it was not there fault we had to pay for them to find her coffin it was two graves away

Al Capone once buried some loot in a cemetery, then could not remember where. Always place a dollar sign on the headstone

Situations of this sort happen often within a particular culture of this country. These sorts of negligent charges of negligent practice occur in their funeral homes (when open or officially closed) and also in their cemeteries. It is a matter of record with the NFDA, BBB and law officials of the vicinities where the infraction(s) took place.

The man aint in there hes dust

Wow. She ended up being wrong. How Embarrassing for her. Lol

That happens a lot just so everyone knows. Not trying to freak anyone out but it's good to stay on top of that situation. Make sure someone from your family oversees the interment process beginning to end and also check in from time to time. It's rare for it to happen at nice cemeteries but it's not uncommon at lower end and city ran cemeteries

She probably just wants to sue someone , if the dudes willing to show her the grave hasn't been moved

thumbs down for no outcome!!!!!!!

And I hope the cemetery took legal action against those people. What a ridiculous, defamatory thing to say. SMH.

She was gravely sorry for falsely accusing them...

I can see where this lady is coming from. A simple fix for that is to not leave until you see your family member go under the ground with your own eyes and get covered up. They tried that with my dad and said that we cannot be there for the grave closing. It worked for my cousin's but for me I went and sat on top of a tombstone two graves over and stare down down. So they finally put him in the ground and said I could go while they covered him up. That seemed to really suspicious so I took one other shovels and started throwing the dirt on myself. Then I told them I am going to need a $500.00 refund for do and get myself and then they started helping. I would not want a funeral home to just stopped me in the ground and resell the vault in Cascade to somebody else & I definitely would not want my family members to have that happened to them. Imagine going through the rest of your life asking yourself "what if? I wonder."
