Syllabus

<p>Corporations — Cemeteries—Sale of lands.</p> <p>An incorporated cemetery company may sell part of its lands not used for burial purposes so long as the sale proposed does not deprive the lot holders of the use of and reasonable access to their lots or interfere with the integrity of the cemetery as a burial place. Such a corporation may sell a part of its lands to a Roman Catholic church for burial purposes and such a sale is not invalidated by the fact that the church and the cemetery company are each to receive one-half of the proceeds of the sale of lots to the members of the church.</p>
