The tombstone was being shipped from Kingston, Jamaica, to the UK via Cincinnati.

It has the name of 35-year-old Delroy Senior inscribed on it.

Part of the inscription read: "Your place no one can fill."

The marijuana ia thought to have a street value of just under £34,000.

Police in the US say they have no idea who was behind the shipment.

It was discovered by a sniffer dog at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.

An X-ray machine revealed packages of the drug in a metal box, wrapped in metal mesh.

Customs officers said they had no idea why anyone would go to such lengths to smuggle drugs into the UK.
