Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Michigan

My father in law pasted away and in his burial contract with the cemetery stated he was not to be embalmed but when the funeral home picked up his body and the family sat down with them and told them they wanted no service his wish was to be but in the Mausoleum ASAP. And not to be embalmed. We were told that being that he was being put in the mausoleum and not in the ground he had to be embalmed. So against his wishes and our wishes for him we paid to have him embalmed. We have now since that the cemetery's aid that the funeral home gave us false information and that he did not have to be embalmed. Do we have a case and what should we do? Our hearts a breaking right now and spent money that should have never been spent.
