Hi Beth, Have you tried to find out if the funeral home still exists? They might have the records if they are still in operation. Do you know if there are other family members buried at Mount Greenwood? If so, maybe she is buried with them, and not recorded properly. Are the interment books kept by date? Did they have any burials around the date of death? Maybe if you were to look at the books yourself, you might be able to recognize something that the office person could not. Was she Catholic? Maybe you can get some information from her church. If she was moved at a later date, the information from her original burial location should still be there. I have an ancestor & his wife buried at one cemetery. I had found their burials in a published book of the burials of that cemetery, and found their headstone. Many years later, I found the obituaries which said they were buried in a different cemetery. Maybe they planned to bury your relative at Mount Greenwood, but then changed to another cemetery. If there are other members of this family, you might want to figure out where they are, and see if she is with them. You could also check www.findagrave.com to see if she shows up anywhere.
