A new program is highlighting the work of Uintah County employees. The first Uintah County Spotlight was the Uintah County Cemetery Department, recognized during Monday’s Uintah County Commission meeting. Cemetery Department employee James Sharp described the work he and the cemetary crew perform throughout the week, rotating weekends and ensuring that all funerals at the 11 cemeteries are covered. “We meet with families on the worst day of their lives and are accommodating to every request that is in our power,” shared Sharp. “…We try to do everything we can ourselves and do our best to save money and time. We respect the fact that it is public money that pays our paycheck… [My coworkers and I], we care about the cemeteries.” The Commissioners thanked Mr. Sharp and the members of the Cemetery Department for their commitment and hard work as Uintah County employees.
