Terms and Conditions

1. The Cemetery Space and Interment Services are exclusively intended for the prompt handl ing of the deceased individual's remains. Should the interment services be canceled with less than 24 hours' notice or 48 hours' notice when scheduled on a Monday. If you are reserving Cemetery Space, you will receive a receipt as confirmation of your reservation. AMC holds partial exemption status as a cemetery, meaning it is not obligated to partake in any care fund stipulated by the Illinois Cemetery Care Act, as per 760 ILCS 100/1 et seq. The upkeep and maintenance of the cemetery will be sustained through the net proceeds from burial services and contributions from Islamic Centers or the Islamic Center Congregation in the Chicagoland area.

2. Interment services are governed by the prevailing rules and regulations of the American Muslim Cemetery, which are currently in force and may be updated periodically. These rules and regulations are considered an integral part of this agreement. The purchaser commits to adhering to these rules and regulations, including any alterations or updates, whether communicated with or without prior notice. An up-to-date version of these Rules and Regulations is maintained at the off-site cemetery office and can be examined during the cemetery's regular business hours. Upon payment of reasonable copying expenses, the cemetery will furnish the purchaser with a copy of the Rules and Regulations.

3. No above-ground grave markers, monuments, or mausoleums are allowed anywhere in the cem e tery land for a grave.

4. The purchaser shall possess no entitlements to the property except for the privilege of in t erment on the premises in accordance with the conditions specified in this contract.

5. The purchaser recognizes and accepts that this contract does not encompass any forthcoming services. If a grass-level grave marker is requested at the time of burial, the customary delivery time for the marker is approximately ninety (90) days from the date of purchase. The cemetery's approval of this order does not imply any responsibility on the part of the cemetery for any delays arising from factors such as labor strikes, adverse weather conditions, unforeseeable natural events, pandemics, government mandates, or other circumstances beyond its control.

6. The cemetery reserves the right to allocate payments received under this contract as it shall determine in its sole discretion.

7. This contract represents the complete agreement between the involved parties, and any previous agreements or representations made before the date of this contract are not legally binding on either party unless explicitly integrated into this contract. The purchaser affirms that they have thoroughly reviewed the entire contract and had the opportunity to seek legal counsel before voluntarily signing it. Both parties agree that any standard rules of contract interpretation that might otherwise dictate that the drafter of the contract is at a disadvantage will not apply when interpreting the provisions of this agreement. This agreement may be executed in multiple identical copies, each of which will be considered an original, but collectively, they constitute a single document. The parties hereby acknowledge and consent that electronic signatures, including those made through signatures transmitted via electronic mail in "pdf" format or DocuSign, are legally valid and binding, with the same legal force and effect as if an original copy of this agreement had been physically delivered..
