A. Any municipality which owns a cemetery, or any board of cemetery trustees of a cemetery owned by an association incorporated for cemetery purposes under the laws of Oklahoma, shall have a lien on any unused lot when a written contract provides for upkeep payments on such lot and the upkeep payments have been unpaid for a continuous period of five (5) years. Where more than one lot has been purchased in a group of lots, and at least one of the lots has been used in that group of lots, the provisions of this section shall not apply. B. After filing the lien with the clerk of the district court in the county in which the cemetery lot is situated, the lien may be enforced by civil action. The practice, pleading and proceedings for foreclosure in such action shall conform to the rules prescribed by the code of civil procedure as far as they may be applicable.
