Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
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.

Sec. 1. (a) Public graveyards in this State, not under the control
of any corporation sole, organization or society, and located within the
limits of townships or counties not under township organization, shall
and may be controlled or vacated by the corporate authorities of such
township or county in such manner as such authorities may deem proper,
and in the case of townships, such control may be vested in 3 trustees. If a township board has vested control of a public graveyard in 3 trustees in accordance with this Section, it may, by resolution, divest the trustees of control of the public graveyard and assume control of the public graveyard.

township organization elected under this Act shall be filled only by
appointment. Such appointment shall be made by the county board of any
county not under township organization or by the Township Board of
Trustees in counties under township organization, as the case may be,
for a term of 6 years. Until the effective date of this amendatory Act
of 1983, in a township coterminous with a municipality, cemetery trustees
shall continue to be elected by ballot, with one trustee elected in each odd-numbered
year, in accordance with the provisions of the general election law,
for a term of 6 years and until their respective successors are elected
and qualified. After the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1983,
in a township coterminous with a municipality, cemetery trustees shall be
appointed by the governing authority of the municipality with one trustee
appointed in each odd-numbered year for a term of 6 years and until his
or her respective successors are appointed and qualified.
Such trustees may be paid such compensation, not to exceed $1,000 per
year, as may be fixed by the Township Board of Trustees.
(c) Not more than one of the trustees shall be from any one city or
village or incorporated town or section of land within such township
unless such city, village, incorporated town or section of land shall
have more than 50% of the population of the township according to the
last preceding Federal census in which are included 2 or more cities,
