Two women have filed a lawsuit against a Detroit cemetery organization after they were unable to locate their brother's remains at the cemetery where they say he was laid to rest.
The Ann Arbor News reports 37-year-old Isaac Dixon died in 2001. Dixon's family says they buried him at Westlawn West Cemetery in Superior Township.
But when Dixon's family was unable to locate his headstone at the cemetery last August, his sisters Diane Brown and Rebecca Thomas filed a lawsuit against the defunct Westlawn Cemetery Association of Detroit, claiming breach of contract and unjust enrichment.
The defendant was no longer in charge of the cemetery after 2002, but current owner Covenant Cemetery Services says they're working to help the family locate Dixon. Covenant manager Michael Butts says there's no evidence Dixon was ever buried at that cemetery.
