It was a ground-breaking event -- literally -- as the Montefiore Cemetery Company unearthed its site for the Sarah Mausoleum. At the event (top, back row, from left) are Rabbi Lance J. Sussman, Stewart Bonner, Bill Loy, Alan Greenbaum, Matthew Vanderford, Steven Fligelman and Nelson Ralis, with (front, from left) Barry Rubin, Katherine Hartman, Lori Lewis and Alan Salkin.

At right, breaking sod are Heather Shay-Herzig (left), president of the company; and Elaine Shay, chairman of the board, alongside Heather's kids.
