Question Did I see a dead body being loaded into the cargo hold?

I've read on here before that remains are often transported in the airplane cargo hold. Yesterday, I was on US 138 CLT-PHL. As I was waiting to deplane in PHL, I looked out the window and saw a white cardboard box that looked like it was the size of a casket sitting on a luggage cart. It said "Extreme Care" on the box. Am I right to assume that there was a body inside? Is there a casket inside the box or do bodies just get transported in those boxes?
