On the day noticed for the hearing of said petition or on any subsequent day to which the hearing of the cause is adjourned, the proofs and allegations of the parties shall be presented to the court and if said court shall determine therefrom that the owner has failed and neglected for a period of 7 years preceding the filing of said petition to comply with the rules and regulations relating to the maintenance and the care of said burial space or spaces, an order shall be entered accordingly, forfeiting and terminating the rights and interest of such owner in and to said burial space or spaces, subject to the provisions of this act, and shall further provide that the city, village or township, through and by its proper board or other officials shall have the right to re-sell such spaces and to use the proceeds derived from such sale in the manner and for the purposes hereinafter provided. A duly certified copy of such order shall, within a period of 10 days after the entering thereof, be personally served on such owner or shall be sent by registered mail to his last known place of address.
