Nothing herein contained shall affect any existing\nauthority of the courts to determine the reasonableness of the amount of\nsuch disposition. Any cemetery association may act as trustee of and\nexecute any such trust with respect to lots, roadways, lawns, hedges,\nwalks, fences, monuments, structures and tombs both within its own\ncemetery limits and outside of any cemetery under its control but within\nthe county where such cemetery is located, whether or not such power is\nincluded among its corporate powers.\n
