A coffin transport block is provided. The coffin transport block includes a body portion with a top end and a bottom end. Protruding from the top end is a first node and a second node forming a top channel in between. Protruding from the bottom end is a first node and a second node forming a bottom channel in between. A method of use includes the following. The coffin lid may be opened to place the cadaver within the coffin and to prepare the cadaver. The bottom end of the coffin transport block may be placed on a coffin edge so that the coffin edge is within the bottom channel. The lid may be placed on the top end so that the lid edge is within the top channel, thereby propping the coffin in an open position. The cadaver may then be transported to the funeral with the lid of the coffin semi-opened, which prevents the preparation of the cadaver from being disturbed.
