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.

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?

I’ll probably do that, thanks!
