Rabbi Schiff is buried at Riverside Cemetery in Saddle Brook, NJ, not at Mount Moriah. He is listed on Riverside’s website (https://app.riversidecemetery.org/interment/?id=29065) and I confirmed with Mount Moriah that he is not buried there and never was. In addition, a friend visited the grave at Riverside in person.
