Betty Coleman said she buried her mother at the Prichard Memorial Cemetery 18 years ago.
When a family member went to visit the grave site a couple of weeks ago, she said it was gone.
Coleman said her mother did not have a headstone but it did have a marker with her mother's name and date of birth and death information.
She said when she called Memorial Funeral Home, which overseas the cemetery, she said no one could give her a straight answer as to what happened and where her mother is located.
"This is my mother we're talking about. Not a stranger, not a friend, this is my mother we're talking about and to have her last resting place in such a disarray I have never heard of anything like this a day in my life and I don't understand how something like could've happened," said Betty Coleman of Duluth, Minnesota.
Coleman says she plans to take legal action.
News Five contacted the funeral home but we were told it is not responsible for the cemetery and that someone else handled the records.
That person was not available to speak with us.

Sorry something like this has happened to some one but you would think that 18 years after a burial the grave would have a headstone.
