Trimming a piece of granite countertop

Hi:

We are looking to replace a refrigerator and in measuring the opening, I
noted that while the cabinets are exactly 36 inches apart, and would thus
accomodate refrigerators 35 inches wide, the granite countertop on one side
overhangs the cabinet by almost an inch, narrowing the opening to 35 inches,
a poor size for selection of a refrigerator.  The piece of granite that
overhangs the cabinet is relatively small; how hard would it be to remove
the top and take it somewhere to be cut, and then reinstall it?  Is that
something I could do myself (at least the removal and the reinstallation)? 
Can you recommend someone in the Boston area who could do the trimming of
the piece of granite? (and or also the removal and the reinstallation)?

Thanks,

Michael Loucks
