Rights of seller.

(a) Without limiting in any way the liability of the seller under a preneed contract to perform its obligations thereunder, including, without limitation, the obligation to deliver the cemetery merchandise, and for installation thereof if it is to be included in the preneed contract, the seller shall not be required to place in trust proceeds paid under the contract for cemetery merchandise.
