French v. Kensico Cemetery

Per Curiam. The intention of the parties is clear that the defendant should accept the fund and invest it in interest-bearing securities and apply the income for the perpetual care of a burial plot. No purpose is served by attempted classification of the relationship created by the agreement of the parties. An agreement or a trust for such purpose is valid and enforcible under our statutes. (Personal Property Law, § 13-a; Membership Corporation Law, § 76; Surrogate’s Court Act, § 314.) The judgment should be affirmed, with costs. Lehman, Ch. J., Loughran, Rippey, Conway, Desmond and Thacher, JJ., concur; Lewis, J., taking no part. Judgment affirmed.
