Yes immediate family members can sue a cemetery for emotional distress based on the negligent handling of their loved ones remains. You should take immediate steps to retain a lawyer in California on contingency fee so that you can file a claim against the cemetery.
Are you 100% certain that your mom was moved to a different plot? I have done many of these cases and I know an attorney in California that can represent you.
