1. The corpus of all money deposited in
the burial merchandise and service trust fund must be kept unimpaired until the
prepaid contract is performed on the death of the person for whose benefit the
contract was made, or the contract is otherwise terminated and distribution or
disposition of money in the trust fund is made as authorized in accordance with
applicable law and the rights of interested persons.
2. Upon receiving a certified copy of a
death certificate or a certification by the cemetery authority that a
particular prepaid contract has been fully performed, the trustee of the burial
merchandise and service trust fund shall pay all money in the trust fund for
that contract to the cemetery authority.
3. The trustee shall not make any payments
out of the trust fund unless the trustee receives a death certificate or
certification as provided in subsection 2. In paying out money in such
circumstances, the trustee may rely upon all such death certificates and certifications
presented to the trustee which appear valid on their faces, and the trustee is
not liable to any person for paying out money upon such reliance.
