"...he thought was an expected shipment of seahorses, anemones and corals from Vietnam via California. Before opening it, however, he discovered that the box's label indicated that it contained the remains of a man who had died four days before."

Hey, it could be a new fad. Perhaps a bit more expensive than a Pet Rock [en.wikipedia.org], but certainly cheaper than a dog or cat once you factor in food and vet visits.

Okay, perhaps the smell might be worse than the cat box...

Save burial costs. Mail your body to Nigeria.

An e-commerse last act of revenge. Bet you could even con the recipient into accepting shipping costs.

It is kind of funny that he was a mail carrier and ended up getting delivered to the wrong address :)
