Jewish Man's Body Moved From Orthodox Cemetery
PITTSBURGH (AP) _ The remains of a Jewish man who died 45 years ago have been moved to a family-owned plot in a Pittsburgh cemetery after a judge determined that his late wife's wishes should be honored.
Allegheny County Judge Lawrence O'Toole ruled after hearing arguments on behalf of Howard Tobin's wife, who died in January, and from an attorney for the Orthodox Jewish cemetery where Tobin was buried.
An attorney for Tobin's wife said her husband was buried in the Orthodox cemetery because his brothers handled the arrangements while his wife grieved.
Tobin's wife asked the court to move the body in 2008, in part because the couple were Reform Jews, but the Orthodox cemetery said that violated Jewish burial laws.
The body was moved Tuesday after attorneys for the Orthodox cemetery decided not to appeal.
