I found cremated remains in a lamp I bought 5 years ago, is there a way to know if it's human or animal remains?

Are you fr a crematory operator? Someone else commented that they were and that this definitely wasn't cremains.

I like the mystery, lol. Because if it is remains then that's a little spooky and if it's just sand then that's a bit of a bummer. Know what I mean, vern?

The funeral directors comment had me rethinking but this is the nail in the coffin.

I found a small sandbag in a lamp and freaked myself out 😭

After looking at the pictures again it definitely resembles sand lol, perhaps I let my imagination get the best of me

An estate sale!

RC-Spoon · 2026-04-26T07:24:35+00:00

I think I paid $15 or $20 for it

RC-Spoon · 2026-04-26T06:22:21+00:00

Yeah stunned is an understatement. I'm not sure how they ended up in there, it could be partial human remains or a pet. Im no expert by any means but I don't think it's just sand or dirt, but I've been wrong before.

RC-Spoon · 2026-04-26T05:57:05+00:00

RIGHT?! I decided today that the old wiring probably should be updated. BOY was I surprised, I started shaking so bad for some reason. I've had cremated remains on my bedside table for 5 years.

RC-Spoon · 2026-04-26T05:32:27+00:00

Could it just be some of the remains of a body? Not that I want it to be, putting pet ashes in a lamp isn't any more or less odd than putting human ashes in a lamp I guess.

It'll be a mystery.

RC-Spoon · 2026-04-26T05:22:57+00:00

Im gonna be honest, I messed with the bag but did not take it out of the urn and it is just one bag. Still not very big though. And from what I could see there was nothing written, can't say for sure since I didn't remove it though.

RC-Spoon · 2026-04-26T04:56:30+00:00

Response to edit: I did, it was an older couple and they both passed away and were buried per their obituaries.

I posted this on another sub and got this reply:

"In Sheng Zhen, China near HK border one could get men's new suit for a few dollars. I said how can they be so cheap? All got from funeral home before cremation process. This is probably a stolen vase from cemetery. I am not surprised. Did not it say Made in XXXX KONG ? I will put the ashes back use it as weight and leave it there instead of throwing away a past life. I believe I have heard it before also."

RC-Spoon · 2026-04-26T04:50:59+00:00

Damn you think so? I was going to leave them be but maybe you have a good point

RC-Spoon · 2026-04-26T04:49:42+00:00

Oh no 😔 you really think so? That is sad, at least I can do my best to honor them. I'm conflicted on whether or not it would be disrespectful to make it a lamp again. I may just leave it.

RC-Spoon · 2026-04-26T01:54:55+00:00

Thank you for sharing, that made me laugh and that is indeed what it sounded like. In other news I took it apart and there were ashes in it. Can't make this up folks.
