Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(765 ILCS 835/14) (from Ch. 21, par. 21.7)
Sec. 14. After the expiration of one year from the date of entry of an
order adjudging an interment right, entombment rights in a community mausoleum or lawn crypt section, or inurnment right in a community columbarium to have been abandoned, a cemetery
authority shall have the right to do so and may sell such interment right, entombment rights in a community mausoleum or lawn crypt section, or inurnment right in a community columbarium at public sale and grant an easement therein for burial purposes
to the purchaser at such sale, subject to the interment of any human
remains theretofore placed therein and the right to maintain memorials
placed thereon. A cemetery authority may bid at and purchase such interment right, entombment rights in a community mausoleum or lawn crypt section, or inurnment right in a community columbarium at such sale.
Notice of the time and place of any sale held pursuant to an order
adjudicating abandonment of a cemetery interment right, entombment rights in a community mausoleum or lawn crypt section, or inurnment right in a community columbarium shall be published
once in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the
cemetery is located, such publication to be not less than 30 days prior to
the date of sale.
The proceeds derived from any sale shall be used to reimburse the
petitioner for the costs of suit and necessary expenses, including
attorney's fees, incurred by petitioner in the proceeding, and the balance,
if any, shall be deposited into the cemetery authority's care fund or, if
there is no care fund, used by the cemetery authority for the care of its
cemetery and for no other purpose.
