designated trust and an investigation to determine whether the purposes of the

trust are being carried out in the manner provided by the trust agreement; and to

submit to the Court a written report thereon which shall follow as nearly as may

be the form prescribed by Pa. O.C. Rule 9.4 for a master's report and shall

contain specific recommendation for the Court's consideration.

cemetery trusts, the Court will, from time to time, appoint a cemetery trust
