My cat needed to be euthanised last month, and I just received her ashes. They came with a round black sticker. What’s the purpose of this sticker?

They mentioned my chosen urn was suitable for sprinkling cremains (I don’t plan to do that) – maybe it’s related to that?

Thanks.

      Best guess is that it is supposed to have been used to make sure remains are not mixed up. Black sticker with the paperwork and black sticker with the remains with black sticker with the urn sort of thing.

      Best answer would come from the burners, call them and find out.

        Thanks.

        I didn’t work directly with the crematorium, so I’ll have to track them down, but thanks!

        I was wondering if this was a known thing that I just wasn’t clued into, but apparently not.

      Did it leave a little bit of material behind? It could add to the tamper theory

        Nope. Also I stuck it on paper and it came off cleanly. It seems to be a regular sticker.
