My wife nailed it I think. People spreading loved ones ashes in the spots they loved the most.

wow ok for some reason it didnt post my question,my question was has anyone who has found these tags tried to return them to the crematory since they all seem to have the crematory names `on em.

I do not see the reason for "sending them back" (as if they were a lost class ring that is "fun to re-unite" or something). I mean C'MON! The concept of metal detectors/detecting probably never even crossed the mind of the person scattering their loved ones ashes in the surf (along with the toe-tag). Now how would YOU feel if the tag came back to you in an envelope or something? Just throw it away (or pitch it back in the sea, etc...). That's what I do with the ones I find.

I'm sending them back ... to where they were found. I can't see anyone else really wanting them ... not even collectors.

Well .. I take that back, maybe some of the Goth crowd would like to collect them (dangle from earlobes?).

the creamatory only uses them to ID the ashes to prevent mix ups -- like giving the wrong ashes (body) to the wrong family --(can you say lawsuit ? ) -- after the ashes are given to the family --the creamatory really does noy want the tag back ( since they have no use for em --I mean its not like they can reuse it)--all it could do is get mixed up with current ones (talk about a nightmare) - so I honestly believe they would just junk em or even worse "mail" it to the family member who picked up and signed for the "release" the ashes--

personally since the loved one liked the ocean somuch ( I guessing thats why their ashes got "dumped" there by their next of kin after all) -- back it goes as far as I can chuck it --I veiw the tags like a headstone of sorts --so I'm not taking em home with me.-- max 3 times in a row --guess whoever it is "likes" you it seems.

 

[gravediggermax-vabeachva]

that is how i got my name

found like 5 one summer

found one 3 times, lowtide tim found it first, tossed it back, ron found it after my first toss, i scracthed max on the back......then i find it 2 more times.

i now carry it with me, figured whoever it was, they did not like the ocean in vabeach.

We found one today while working a beach. Had never seen one before, and it was difficult to read. Went to the in laws for dinner and pulled it out while there to clean it off. Someone with good eyes read all the info.

Guess he or she needs to go back home to the beach next time there.

I have and I sent it back to the crematory my reasons are:

Its nice to scatter loved ones ashes...but metal tags do not belong in water, for kids to cut themselves, or to add to the litter that already is out there. In Texas you are not suppose to scatter them along the beach and have to go like 3 miles out and you have to follow other rules as well which one of them is removing the metal tag.

these are ID Tags, used by the crematory, family members most the time are unaware of their even being one. It serves no purpose after the urn is given to the family and has no emotional attachement to the deceased. So either throw them in the trash or send them back to the funeral home, but get them off the beach!
