§ 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.
