Cerement

A cerement is a cloth used for wrapping the dead.

When the Beloved Disciple and Peter got to the tomb of Jesus they did not find a corpse, only his cerement.

And so Simon Peter also came, following him, and entered the tomb; and he saw the linen wrappings lying there, and the face-cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the linen wrappings, but rolled up in a place by itself. (John 20:6-7, NASB)
