Typically, a burial plot is purchased and so becomes the "property" of the estate. Headstones are purchased as well, so if a cemetary moves one, it is movig someone else's property. On the other hand, a cemetary does have to keep up maintenance, so they probably have contractual clauses allowing them to do so. Whether that includes actually moving headstones is another question, and it seems odd that they would do that, since the purpose of the headstone is to mark the grave of the person interred in that spot. I should hope management has kept track so they can advise you as to the correct location. They should be able to provide you with a map. Talk to them and if you are not satisfied, find out what agency regulates cemetaries in your state.

You think the prosecutor is just going to give you a misdemeanor and call it a day. You are going to be charged with obstruction, false report and probably being a party to the offense, since you were there, there was a crime, and you have exonerated the perpetrator.
