Introduction

Aramgah Memorial Garden Foundation (AMG) or "Aramgah" for short, is a nonprofit organization established in April 1986 following a few unfortunate incidents that took a toll on the Iranian community. It is registered in the State of Pennsylvania. It is governed by the Board of Trustees (see below). Aramgah is located within the "White Marsh Memorial Park" at 1169 Limekiln Pike Ambler, PA 19002. According to its agreement with White Marsh, it has secured total of 2000 burial lots for its members. The area is comprised of two sections: Islamic Garden and Persian Garden.

• Islamic Garden is strictly reserved for Iranians (as Regular Members) and non- Iranians (as Associate Members) both with Moslem faith.
• Persian Garden is allocated to Iranian Moslems and their non-Moslem relatives (as Regular Members) and non-Moslem Iranians (as Associate Members).

Board of Trustees

According to Aramgah’s by-laws, Aramgah is governed by a group of nine trustee members, elected for a term of three years by its "Regular Members" at the General Meeting. Aramgah’s daily management is entrusted to three executives, the President, the Secretary and the Treasurer, who are elected for a term of three years by the board of trustees. All of the Trustees of Aramgah and it’s executives are volunteers and receive no compensation for their time and service to Aramgah.
