apparently Minot Kerr has.
from his Yale 1994 dissertation on Paray-le-Monial:
http://people.reed.edu/~mkerr/papers/thesis/cap.html
[Vézelay, Autun and Saulieu] were intended to provide a proper setting for
their relics for the pious hordes that came to visit. Autun, by the end of the
twelfth century, had a walk-through shrine with a tableau of nearly half
life-size figures. (Note 33)

[note 33] For a reconstruction, see Giles Rollier, "Essai de reconstitution du
Tombeau: résultats et limites," Le Tombeau de Saint Lazare et la sculpture
romane à Autun après Gislebertus, exhibition at the Musée Rolin 8 June- 15
September 1985 (Autun: 1987(?)). Excavations in the choir area of Saint-Lazare
conducted by Walter Berry in 1991 and early 1992 have brought to light many
more fragments and has somewhat modified Rollier's reconstruction; paper given
by Walter Berry at the CAA annual meeting in Chicago, February 1992.
a not-too-useful shot of the installation of some of the fragments from the
tomb monument now in the Musee Rolin is here:

my rusty memory tells me that some of those are marble.
