The revocation proceeding may be filed in the chancery court of the county where the cemetery is located, and may be brought on relation of the state or district attorney general. The court hearing the proceeding may order the seizure and sale of the cemetery company's assets to the extent necessary to set up the improvement care trust fund as required.
