A cemetery association, which is not owned and operated by a church, or by a religious or ecclesiastical society may be dissolved under the provisions of chapter 19 of Title 11. Upon dissolution, all lands owned or held by it for cemetery purposes and all perpetual care funds, trust funds, and all other property held or owned by it, less dissolution expenses, may be transferred to the town in which the lands are located, and thereafter these lands may become public burial grounds, and the town shall hold the perpetual care funds and trust funds in trust for the care, improvement and embellishment of the lots therein, according to the terms upon which they were held by the association.
