Ohio Code § 1721.13

§ 1721.13.

Any association of persons who are acting as a cemetery association, who have purchased

and improved lands for cemetery purposes by subscriptions of lot holders and the sale

of lots, and who are acting through a board of trustees chosen by members of the association

may, when the lands thus occupied have been brought or held within the corporate limits

of a village subsequently to the time of their purchase and improvement, become incorporated

for cemetery purposes, as though the lands held by the association were outside such

corporate limits. Any association incorporated under this section as the successor of such an original

association may, with the concurrence of the original association, take possession

of, hold, and use, for cemetery purposes, all the property belonging to and held by

the original association for such purposes. All rights of lot owners in the cemetery grounds of the original association are valid

without reference to the form of conveyance issued to them by the trustees of the

original association, and shall be reserved and assured to such lot owners upon an

incorporation under this section.
