welcome to the cremation club! yep never thought about finding one, and not something I ever want to find again.
 

I know that feeling too when you look down in the scoop and there's one of those. I found 2 last year, if I remember right on the same day.

It does give you that creepy feeling doesn't it? I know it shouldn't but.....

Hope your next finds are GOLD....

**sigh** I haven't found one of those yet and I am not anxious to either. YUK!

They seem to turn up when you least expect it.... :-\

One of them I found had Florida abbreviated in the old way FLA.

Believe me I would prefer to even find junk rings then one of these....maybe there is someone out there that collects them, but not me....Yuck is right....
 

a real one of a kind find -- thats for sure --since each one means some "body" / yep back it goes if I find one --as far as I can chuck it.-- I do not collect "death tags"
 

Dana Point area offers Burial at Sea services aboard some of their charters. Doheny State Beach area may also offer these types of finds. Just a thought. I would throw it back....
Happy Hunting.
 

when you go back to the beach where you found it,take it,say a prayer and throw it back

Thats the same thing i do ,I have found 4 in the last 6 years of water hunting :angel5:
 

Yep .. this weekend's low tides ...I'll give a small prayer and fling that tag a few hundred feet into the ocean.

Thanks all for your replies, and HH Joe
 

has anyone ever contacted the funeral home to get the relatives info to give it back to them?
 

I only went so far as to research the "Peek Family Crematory" on Google but never considered returning the tag (except back to the ocean).

I am of the opinion that the family would most probably be distressed getting a return like this. ???

(I just DON'T want to find it again!) :o
