Cemetery Misplaces Woman’s Father

Luanne Melior has to believe her father is still resting beneath the giant maple tree at Riverview Cemetery. She couldn’t imagine it any other way. The tree marked the peaceful spot her family chose in 2002 when they buried the cremated remains of her father, Dara Brown Warren. “I just knew he’d be happy under there,” Luanne Melior said. But when Luanne and her husband, Pat, visited the site one week ago, they couldn’t find his gravestone. Someone else was buried in the plot they thought they had purchased. Only after an hour of searching did they find Warren’s headstone - around 100 feet away. “It’s kind of upsetting when you look for your father and he’s not there,” Luanne said. And that wasn’t the worst part. City officials now think they’ve lost the remains of Dara Brown Warren/ Tom Hasslinger , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here.
