Black Friday Deals from the L.A. Coroner's Gift Shop? Aiming to Revive Sales of "Morgue Merchandise"
LOS ANGELES (CBS/AP) The morgue has got to be the last place you'd think to go shopping - so perhaps it's not surprising that sales at the Los Angeles County Coroner's gift shop are next to dead.
Then again, officials are encouraging the coroner to develop a marketing strategy. They appear to be dead serious.
Tucked as unobtrusively as possible in a closed-door room off the coroner's lobby, the store is jam-packed with mortality-mocking merchandise: Water bottles marked "bodily fluids," boxer shorts dubbed "undertakers," toe tags, crime-scene tape and beach towels bearing the county coroner's trademarked symbol of a body outline.

Sales have flatlined the last couple of years.

My wallet has achieved rigor mortis when it comes to purchasing things from the LA County Coroner.
