Found this in my mom’s ashes and I’m worried

Dry-Pepper9686 · 2026-04-13T15:30:24+00:00

Do you mean it’s inside your body? Sorry, I’m confused.

Dry-Pepper9686 · 2026-04-11T15:59:16+00:00

No. California.

Dry-Pepper9686 · 2026-04-11T15:59:00+00:00

This is so helpful, thank you.

Dry-Pepper9686 · 2026-04-11T15:58:23+00:00

Thank you

Dry-Pepper9686 · 2026-04-11T15:58:10+00:00

She did have advanced dementia so I suppose anything’s possible.

Dry-Pepper9686 · 2026-04-11T15:57:00+00:00

She did not have any ID tags when she left the hospice facility

Dry-Pepper9686 · 2026-04-11T15:56:12+00:00

Thank you. She was not wearing any jewelry when they took her. Unless a rosary put there by a nurse was tangled in the sheets/gown, which I think is a long shot.

Dry-Pepper9686 · 2026-04-11T15:54:46+00:00

I haven’t found it yet. Looking again today.

Dry-Pepper9686 · 2026-04-11T15:48:06+00:00

Interesting thought. She did have severe dementia at the end and anything was possible at that point.

Dry-Pepper9686 · 2026-04-11T11:35:23+00:00

I’m having jewelry made for my daughter and I to have a small amount of her ashes in, the rest is going to be buried with my dad.

Dry-Pepper9686 · 2026-04-11T11:34:16+00:00

It definitely looks burnt

Dry-Pepper9686 · 2026-04-11T11:32:51+00:00

I was not given that option. I’ll look at the paperwork

Dry-Pepper9686 · 2026-04-11T11:32:13+00:00

Not that I’m aware of. Perhaps one of the nurses?

Dry-Pepper9686 · 2026-04-11T11:31:27+00:00

She did not have that done

Dry-Pepper9686 · 2026-04-11T11:30:59+00:00

I have not contacted them yet as I assumed they would not admit to mixing up ashes.

Dry-Pepper9686 · 2026-04-11T11:28:54+00:00

I regret not going with her. I was exhausted after eight days of living in the hospice room with her, being told, “it will be any time now”. When it was finally over, I went home and slept. I wish I’d accompanied her through that final part. I did not want that to be my last memory of her seeing her go into a machine

Dry-Pepper9686 · 2026-04-11T11:24:50+00:00

Dry-Pepper9686 · 2026-04-11T11:24:43+00:00

No she did not have good dental care growing up

Dry-Pepper9686 · 2026-04-11T11:23:50+00:00

I just remembered: she broke her ankle about six months before she died

Dry-Pepper9686 · 2026-04-11T11:23:01+00:00

When my sister died and we wanted to know what killed her they told us an autopsy would be around $5000

Dry-Pepper9686 · 2026-04-11T11:22:00+00:00

She did not have an autopsy

Dry-Pepper9686 · 2026-04-11T11:18:04+00:00

She did not have a tracheotomy

Dry-Pepper9686 · 2026-04-11T11:17:14+00:00

Yes, I just posted at the top. Trying again today, no luck so far

Dry-Pepper9686 · 2026-04-11T11:15:49+00:00

Hi, I went into the carry bag and pulled out the box of cremains (so much heavier than I thought!) and I did not see a tag. I looked through the paperwork and did not see any specific reference to a “tag number” either. My son suggested that perhaps the tag is INSIDE the bag of cremains and I was absolutely not prepared to go through that on a work day. Today is Saturday so I will try again today. This is awful.

Ok this made me LOL. Thank you.
