The general assembly recognizes that the operation of a cemetery is a public purpose and further recognizes that the proper maintenance of a cemetery or burial grounds, whether private or public, is in the interest of the public health and safety serving a valid public purpose.
A trust created for the perpetual care or improvement of a cemetery or graves lessens the burden of government and, therefore, is found and declared to be a charitable trust. To that end, the general assembly declares its support for the establishment and formation of a trust corporation to act as trustee of a charitable trust for the perpetual care of private cemeteries.
