Hello,
I would love to confirm that the word on the vertical slab is "Friedman". Also, please translate the few visible words on the horizontal slab on the left.
Thank you!
Ben Kempner

7/14/2021 2:39 PM Yes, the name does read Friedman.

The name on the bottom is bit of a challenge, not only because of the angle but because the edge of the shadow obscures the tops of the letters.

What I can read is:

MINA, followed by Maltzia in brackets

daughter of Berel and Sarah __________, may they rest in peace.

The family name can be one of several: Block or Gluck or something similar. Do either of these names make sense to you?
