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.

    To me it looks like a generic sticker. Does the backing of the sticker look like it was cut off of a strip of stickers? Or maybe a sheet

    I could see it as being a part of some internal identification system they use. To keep track of pets, urns, or what is being worked on a particular day. Maybe which urns have been reserved and which are free to use.

    What I think may have happened

    1. Someone cut the stickers and left it on top of whatever they were supposed to identify, for someone else to use later

    2. It was never used or needed, and fell in with the stuff that was sent to you

    Best way to confirm would be to ask, I’m sure they wouldn’t mind confirming!

    Sorry for your loss

        If you stick it to something and then peel it off, does it leave a symbol? They have tamper detection stickers that leave a design when peeled off but they may not have used it on yours as it appears to be a fabric.

          It does not. It’s paper, with a bit of a sheen.

          I think the suggestions it’s an inventory sticker that was accidentally included make the most sense.
