Memorial Weekend is a beautiful time when the local cemeteries fill up with flowers and gifts from those remembering and honoring those who have passed on. In case you didn’t know or in case you had forgotten, Memorial decoration cleanup starts on Monday. Roosevelt City shared the following: “Our staff will begin cleanup of all decorative items left from Memorial Day early in the morning of Monday, June 7th. If you wish to keep any items left on a grave, they must be removed by the night of Sunday, June 6th…don’t take any items from the cemetery that you didn’t put there. We hate getting phone calls from families who have had something stolen from the grave of a loved one. If it isn’t yours, please don’t take it.” Uintah County has a similar policy on cemetery cleanup following Memorial Weekend. According to the Uintah County website, cleanup starts the Monday following Memorial Day.
