Sci Alabama Funeral Services, LLC, D/b/a Elmwood Cemetery and Mausoleum v. Johnnie Hinton

Summary

The court held that the defendants established that the burial-rights contract involved interstate commerce and that its arbitration provision was enforceable. It further held that the provision's breadth alone did not establish substantive unconscionability, and therefore the court did not need to decide procedural unconscionability. The order denying arbitration was reversed and the case was remanded for an order compelling arbitration.
