North Africa they burried US servicemembers in cotton bags.
As far as materials they would most likely be High density polypropylene. While I have never seen such a bag (i think I have stats up to 15"x48") there actually is logic to making a bag so large it cannot be moved by hand when filled. It also might be useful at the base of a levee. More equipment onto the "to do" pile.
