Indiana Code Title 10. Public Safety § 10-18-7-7

Sec. 7. (a) The stock of a memorial corporation consists of one (1) share for each five dollars ($5) of the permanent fund belonging to the corporation.  The secretary of the memorial corporation shall issue to any person paying money into, or in any manner augmenting, the permanent fund of the corporation a certificate of stock for each five dollars ($5) in money or property in value.  Each stock certificate must be signed by the president and attested by the secretary.

(b) Every share of stock that is issued is entitled to one (1) vote in the election of officers.  However, the vote must be cast by the owner of the stock in person and not by an agent or a proxy.

(c) Stock in a memorial corporation may be assigned by the owner or transferred by will.  If the owner of any share of the stock dies without having disposed of the stock by a will, the stock held by the deceased owner is canceled.  Canceled stock is referred to as “dead stock”, and all other stock is referred to as “active stock”, and only the owners of active stock may participate in election of officers of the memorial corporation.
