Found a cremation tag?

[John(Tx)]

Found a tag at Stewart beach in Galveston that says "Brookside Mem. Pk. Houston, TX 281-449-6511 43531. Looked it up and it's a cemetery, is this a cremation tag? If it is, I will take it back to the beach and throw it away. HH

I find them all the time on Pismo Beach and Avila Breach here in Calif. People don't check the urns or boxes the ashes come in for the tags so when spreading them off one of the local piers the tags will sometimes get washed up on the beach.
I have found 15 or 20 of them through the years, everyone I have found has been made of Stainless Steel, I also have found dog/pet cremation tags as well.

What I do when I find one is lace a piece of Stainless steel wire through the tag then to a 1lb lead fishing weight, next I head to the high cliffs near my place (Shell Beach) and throw them back into the Pacific Ocean where there is NO beach access and I know they will never come back to shore.

Spreading loved ones ashes in the surf is probably more common than we think. I've found my share, even crematorium tags for pets. Have even found the same tag after throwing it back days later.

I remember where I found it, next time I go to Galveston I will take it back to the same place and toss it. HH

I have found 3 different ones and the same one twice.

The first one I mailed back to the funeral home, the second one I threw back, only to redig it about 3 months later, so now when I find them I dispose of them in the trash! They serve the same purpose on the beach as a pull tab, it was never part of the person, only a way to id them which once the ashes are scattered becomes a mute point and the tag becomes trash.

I have only found one historically, could have been the same one, same place. I hummed it as far off shore as possible. Guess I didn't hum it far enough. Get rid of it back where you found it...bad mojo there mate.
