What's the black sticker for? (lemmy.ca)

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.

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.
