N.Y. General Municipal Law § 162: Conveyance by unincorporated cemetery association to city, town or village

§ 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.
