§ 162. Conveyance by unincorporated cemetery association to city, town
or village. An unincorporated cemetery association may convey and
transfer its real property held for burial purposes, together with its
other assets, to a city having a population of less than one million
inhabitants in which such real property is located, or to a village,
provided such real property is located within such village or wholly
within three miles of the boundaries thereof, or to a town, in which
such real property is located, if all the directors and trustees of such
association living and residing in the state unite in the conveyance and
transfer. Such conveyance and transfer shall be subject to all
agreements as to lots sold and all trusts, restrictions and conditions
upon the title or use of such real property and assets. Lots previously
sold and grants previously made for burial purposes shall not be
affected by such conveyance, nor shall any grave, monument or other
erection or any monuments be disturbed or removed except in accordance
with law. No such conveyance shall be effective unless and until the
legislative body of such city, town or village shall by ordinance or
local law or resolution accept the same subject to the conditions and
restrictions hereinabove imposed, which ordinance or local law or
resolution said legislative body is hereby authorized and empowered to
adopt by a majority vote of such body. Upon such conveyance and
transfer such property shall be and become a municipal cemetery of such
city, town or village and such property and assets so conveyed and
transferred shall be administered as any other municipal cemetery of
such city, town or village and the said cemetery association shall be
dissolved by the recording of such conveyance and transfer.
