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.

        Guys, this happens from time to time and there’s nothing you can do about it. Sometimes, life changing events can happen in a flicker of an eye, and it might make you feel powerless, but choose instead to be humbled by it. We are not gods.

        Edit: I did not read OP’s post text. I thought this was about computer stickers… sorry, everyone.

          I can appreciate that you understand that you made a very stupid mistake. I hope this is a learning experience for you to read the entire context before making an off the cuff remark like that. You shouldn’t be apologizing to everyone, you should apologize to the two people you who’s grief you belittled accidentally. You shocked us, you may of hurt them.

          What the fuck? Why the fuck did you choose to stick your very unwelcome nose into a conversation between two other people who are commiserating and comforting each other over their losses of beloved pets, to say this stupid-ass shit?

          Just don’t say anything. Grief isn’t something that can be reasoned away with this nonsense. Just stop.

            Oh no… jesus. It’s only now that I read the original poster’s text to their post.

            I thought the first poster was making a humorous comment about the loss of their sticker, and the other one chirped in with an equally sombre note about the loss of their sticker.

            I thought this was about the round stickers you sometimes get with computers. I’m such an idiot. My condolences.

        it literally explains what they’re for in the product listing:

        These labels aid your warehouse operations.

        • Categorize inventory, reorder points, product dating or special instructions.

        • Apply these labels to pallets, boxes and shelves for easy identification.

        • Easy to write on.

    Could it be for the bottom of the urn to write something with marker or pen?

    My condolences

    I think you put it on the bottom of the urn and write your pet’s name on it. I have four tiny urns on my bookcase now and labeling them has proved important.

    Sorry for your loss.

    Damn I read “my cat needed to be enthusiased and I just received her ashes” and though WTF did you do to make her so excited?

    side note: enthusiased is not an english word but in greek (ενθουσιασμενος) it makes sense and it translates to “excited”

    Try to shine strong flaslight trough it, if you’ll see traces of wire it’s a RFID/NFC sticker. Those are used for identification.

    What size is the sticker? All I can think is it would be used as a way to help seal the urn/container? If you got the urn from a veterinarian you could reach out to them and ask, maybe it was included accidentally?

      The container had its own seal. The sticker is about an inch in diameter.

      e: the seal on the container wasn’t like the sticker. It was rectangular.

      e2: since my package was meant for sprinkling, I’m wondering if I’m supposed to mark the spot with this sticker? Like is that a thing one does?
