Doesn't every cemetary have a sextant in charge of the cemetary. He should have all the records of who owns what plot and all the measurements to mark it right down to the inch. If its a church cemetary then the church would have the records kept there but usually someone from the parish holds the duty of sextant anyway. In our cemetary, we can be under three feet of snow and with a few simple measurements from known markers on the grounds, we can find anybodys plot before the backhoe arrives.
If you don't have a case of digging in the wrong spot, then maybe you have a paperwork problem.
Again the sextant should have all the records of who owns what where. One of our family plots was purchased by a relative over a hundred years ago and its in the record for all to see. Any family member with the same last name can use the pre-paid and unused plots if they so desire. My point being, if you or your family member/s purchased a specific plot/plots, then its yours and there has to be a record of it somewhere that proves it. All the plots are numbered from day one so there shouldn't be any mistake. A few of our graves are unmarked because the family members never bought a marker or so and so never had any family to do so, but we still know exactly where they are buried even without a marker because its carefully recorded in those records, so no excuse for putting someone where they don't belong.
Another example, my folks bought their own plots before my Dad passed. They bought a block of ten plots together and said any child or grandchild could use the other eight as needed. First come, first served. Otherwise buy your own if you want a different area in the cemetary or if you have a family of five who want to be buried together and there's only three spots left when the time comes. So you've obviouly been wronged if they bury some stranger in your family plot where your family has planned ahead for decades as to who goes where. They gotta go find their own dirt to rest them tired bones.
