Ohio § 1721.17

§ 1721.17.

When, in the judgment of the trustees of any association of persons who are acting

as a cemetery association, whether incorporated or unincorporated, and have purchased

and improved land for cemetery purposes, the welfare of all concerned in the lands

purchased and improved would be subserved by transferring such lands and improvements

and other assets of such association to another association incorporated under the

laws of this state for cemetery purposes, said trustees shall call a meeting of the

association by giving notice of such meeting for two consecutive weeks in a newspaper

of general circulation in the county in which said cemetery is located, specifying

the place, time, and object of such meeting.  A majority of the members of such association shall constitute a quorum.  If by a majority vote of the members of such association the trustees are authorized

to convey and transfer such lands and improvements and other assets to a corporation

so organized for cemetery purposes and electing to accept such transfer, said trustees

may execute a deed of conveyance and transfer of said lands, improvements, and other

assets to said corporation.  If the members of such association are its lot owners, and notice of such meeting

has been given as provided by this section, not less than fifteen members shall constitute

a quorum, and the conveyance and transfer of the lands, improvements, and other assets

may be authorized by the vote of two thirds of the members present at the meeting. After such transfer the corporation to which it was made shall carry out the objects

for which the original association was formed and shall apply any moneys received

by it from said original association in laying out, preserving, protecting, and embellishing

said cemetery. The rights of lot owners in the cemetery ground of the original association are not

affected by this section or by any action taken under it.
