Pauline's mother, Elaine Livings, had picked out the urn in 2002. She wanted it added to the family mausoleum in Michigan after she passed.

"We can't replace it, we are not going to be able to find that. I can't just go to some cremation store and buy an urn. It's not going to be the same because it was not a cremation urn, it was one she picked out special for herself," said Pauline.

The family just wants it back, no questions asked.
