N.M. Stat. § 58-17-8
Care funds not subject to tax.
The care funds authorized in the Endowed Care Cemetery Act and all sums paid
into those funds or contributed to those funds are expressly permitted and are for
charitable and eleemosynary purposes. Care funds are provided for the discharge of the
duty due from the person contributing to those funds to the persons interred and to be
interred in the cemetery and likewise are a provision for the benefit and protection of the
public by preserving and keeping cemeteries from becoming places of disorder,
reproach and desolation in the communities in which they are situated. The care funds
authorized in the Endowed Care Cemetery Act and the income from those funds and
funds received under a contract to furnish care of burial space shall be exempt from
taxation. No payment, gift, grant, bequest or other contribution for general endowed
care is invalid by reason of any indefiniteness or uncertainty of the persons designated
as beneficiaries in the instruments creating the trust nor shall care funds or a
contribution to them be deemed to be invalid as violating any law against perpetuities or
the suspension of the power of alienation of title to property.
