["Shrouding has been a significant part of various cultures and traditions around the world. In many Eastern and Middle Eastern cultures, the dead are shrouded in white cloth before being placed in the coffin. In some Native American cultures, the dead are wrapped in animal hides or furs before being buried in the ground. In Hinduism and Jainism, the dead are often cremated, but before the cremation, the body is shrouded in a white cloth known as the 'shroud'. In some Christian denominations, such as the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church, the dead are often buried in a coffin, but before the coffin is sealed, the body is shrouded in a white linen cloth known as the 'burial shroud' or the ' funeral pall'. This shroud serves as a protective covering for the body during the burial process."]
