Covid - 19 is a virus that is becoming epidemic in the world starting early 2020. This disease has claimed many deaths from all over the world, including Indonesia. Handling of the bodies of victims of Covid - 19 cannot be arbitrary. Because the bodies of sufferers of Covid - 19 can still infect people who have contact with the bodies. Therefore, the procedure for handling covid-19 bodies has a special standard set by the World Health Organization (WHO), namely the use of coffins. The problem faced in Indonesia is that this country is predominantly Muslim where people who die are not buried using coffins so that the possibility of Indonesia experiencing a shortage of coffins is very high. On the other hand, if we pay attention to environmental factors which also need to be worried because the more use of coffins, the more the need for raw material for the coffins, namely wood. Then more wood will be cut. This will have long effects in the future. This research activity develops a multi-use product. It is a product that can be used as a mattress for the patient as well as a casket when the worst happens to the patient. The products used use a knockdown system so there is no need for physical contact from health workers to patients when they need to turn them into coffins.
