cerecloth

The skeleton was found still wrapped in a cerecloth, and in the record of the church is a memorandum of payment "for a terpauling to wrap Mr. Mitchell."

Madam Gillin answered it in person, bedizened in a weird wrapper, a wisp of soiled crape wound over the curl-papers about her head and under her chin like a cerecloth.

I shut the drawer again hurriedly, and that doll in its silver paper cerecloth haunted me all night.

The curse of witchcraft was upon the house, hatred and death clung around it like cerecloths to a coffin.

A year again, and on Inchkeith Isle I saw thee pass in the breeze, With the cerecloth risen above thy feet And wound about thy knees.
