Mvcrash, I covered aviation for years as a journalist including AACargo, which was the first dedicated cargo operation in the airline industry, so I know what I'm familiar with how the system world. What I said was that in theory you could pay to have it
shipped as cargo. There's a big difference between passenger bags and cargo. Air cargo is basically the same service offered by FedEx, yet you can have something shipped same day across the country if you're willing to pay for that. Since it's shipped as cargo and not luggage associated with a passenger, he wouldn't need to accompany it.
In addition to the USPS, lots of food companies are airline cargo customers, as well as the death care industry.
