The county treasurer shall annually render an account to the circuit court as provided in ch. 701 and the person or municipality receiving money for such care shall also render an annual accounting to the circuit court and the cemetery board as provided in s. 157.62 (2) (b) 3. to 7.

   (2)   If the burial place or grave is located in a cemetery owned and operated by, or affiliated with, a religious association, the court shall name the religious association as the trustee unless the religious association petitions the court to name the county treasurer as the trustee.
