Celeste Westerberg, 71, was buried at St. Charles Cemetery in Farmingdale on Nov. 9. Westerberg?s family says they did not realize her gold and diamond crucifix was never removed by funeral workers. Westerberg?s children have now asked a judge for permission to exhume her body so they can get the family heirloom back.
