(b) That the cemetery authority has neglected to observe an order of the bureau to make good within the time prescribed by law any deficiency in its investments of endowment care funds. (c) That the cemetery authority is found, after an examination, to be in such condition that its further management of its endowment care funds will be hazardous to its members, plotholders, or to the public. (d) That the cemetery authority has violated its articles of incorporation or any law of the state. (e) That any officer, director, agent, servant, or employee of the cemetery authority person refuses to be examined under oath relative to the endowment care funds thereof. (f) That any person has embezzled or otherwise wrongfully diverted any of the endowment care funds of the cemetery authority. (g) The order shall continue in force and effect until, on the application either of the bureau or of the cemetery authority, it shall, after a full hearing, appear to the court that the ground for the order does not exist or has been removed and that the cemetery authority can properly resume title and possession of its property and the management of its endowment care funds.
