graveclothes
Corpse's final garments
Graveclothes are the garments in which a corpse is dressed for burial—a shroud, winding sheet, or burial garments.
The word appears most often in biblical or literary contexts: Lazarus came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes.
Modern usage typically prefers burial clothes or shroud.
