Employees at coffin-maker OGF have little time to stand still as orders are up thanks to the coronavirus pandemic. JUSSEY, France: It's a grim truth that times are good for the coffin business when they're bad for people, and the coronavirus pandemic is no exception.

"People have been forewarned and are ready to come in and work on Saturdays," said Didier Pidancet, who heads up the team that selects the wood for the coffins."We're proud to be participating in this national effort, we're doing our best to ensure that victims can have their final overcoat, as we say," added Pidancet.Founded in 1910, the factory in the town of Jussey originally produced wood charcoal and flooring.

The 10 ha site is responsible for the entire process of producing coffins. It strips the logs, cuts then dries the wood, which is eventually crafted and assembled into coffins.The wood, mostly oak, comes from local forests.
