At every funeral I've seen, the family leaves, and doesn't stick around to watch the backhoe fill in the hole. Drop the coffin in the ground, perhaps throw on a few shovels worth of dirt for effect, and everyone walks off. Most of the time (every one I've seen at least), the coffin hasn't even been lowered in the ground when the family leaves. Especially if there was the enclosed tent around the site, easy for the grounds keepers to do what ever they wanted after the family left. extensive lowering device, which would seem really important for a heavy granite coffin. They would have full control of the area.

Which means that there are probably a bunch of other missing coffins at the same venue.

Sorry to hear. Not fun for the family at all.

That was my thought. Since it was granite, my guess is that it was never in the ground. I always thought that sort of thing was placed, then the body in another container was placed inside.
