I'm not sure what this was, but it looked like a sling of some sort.

no, the legs would be too long, it looks kinda like old drapery, or rotting sheets.
I know it sounds corny, but it kind of reminds me of the veil from Harry Potter.
NO CONCERN FOR ANY KIND OF INFECTION LEFT BEHIND?
HUH?
It's paul bunyan's pants from Mich. since motts hasn't said where he is.
They do look like pants.
i was also thinkin pants :)
one thing in my mind: that facility was the tall man's mausoleum and this are the tall man's pants (movie: "the phantasm") =:-D
Unsettling, I don't know why, but it really is
I know...it's Frankenstein's pants
BIG PANTS
They look so.....abandoned. Do you think someone left them there with intent on coming back to get them?
hahah . looks like janitors clothes .
this looks like a sling for moving embalmed bodies...into their coffins...?
Thats' nice..............
Motts, how far from the floor to the rail the material is on?

It could well be the "Pall". A large cloth that would have been draped over the casket. As this is an European Chapel, they would have coninued to use European customs. Often the PALL would have been split down the middle to allow for varying sizes of adult caskets.
it was probably used to cover the other caskits that were in there when they were raising one to the chapel? does that sound right??
pants!
Fire blankets?
Anyone else notice how the bar on the ground below the "pants" looks like it's covered in blood? Yeesh... *shiver*
Looks like someone left behind some laundry.....
Urgh! What's that red stuff on the floor below it??!!
