765 ILCS 830/ Cemetery Removal Act.

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 830/1) (from Ch. 21, par. 2)

Sec. 1.

Whenever any cemetery is within the limits of any town, the
corporate authorities thereof may, if, in their opinion, any good cause
exists why such cemetery should be removed, cause the remains of all
persons interred therein to be removed to some other suitable place. Such
corporate authorities shall first obtain the assent of the trustees or
other persons having the control or ownership of the cemetery, or a
majority thereof. When such cemetery is owned by one or more private
parties, or private corporation or chartered society, the corporate
authorities of such town may require the removal of such cemetery to be
done at the expense of such private parties, or private corporations or
chartered society, if such removal is based upon their application.
