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.
That’s blue
Why are not more people talking about this???
Not tov start another debate about the color of something online, but that looks very much like an inventory sticker. The blue ones are much lighter blue than that. That is a black sticker, and the glare bouncing off of it makes it look lighter
You say this is black?
bro is pretending he doesn’t know how reflections work
Color theory strikes again. It’s blue in the photo but the sticker is probably black irl to your eyes.
Don’t bring colorism into this debate
Colorism matters. But only in art…man there isn’t any good way to say that
Sorry for your loss. I went through this myself today. I’m devastated.
I’m so sorry. That’s really hard. I hope you’re okay.
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.
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.
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.
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.
that looks like a NFC sticker I wonder if they used it for identification. I use stickers like these all the time to program devices around my home.
Is there a way I can tell? I’m pretty techy, but not familiar with that technology. It looks like a regular black sticker to me, and feels like it has a smooth finish. I tried looking that up and get nothing but sites trying to sell me nfc stickers.
NFC sticker would have a coil of wire as the antenna around a little bump in the middle which is the chip. https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=nfc+sticker
Yes, it is a sticker, that doesn’t explain what it’s for
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.
Yeah and that literally does nothing to explain what the context for their use is in a vet mortuary
to keep from mixing up pet ash containers
Yeah but that literally doesn’t explain why someone would care if you mixed up ashes.
/s
It’s very usefull for distinguishing it from cacao power. Won’t be making the same mistake twice. /s
My guess is it is an anti-tamper sticker. Once applied to a surface, removing it leaves behind a decal so that it would be obvious should the sticker be reapplied.
It removes easy and resticks.. Seems like a regular sticker.
(Very sorry about the state of my nails. I’ve been sick.)
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.
Could it be for the bottom of the urn to write something with marker or pen?
My condolences
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?
