There are various aspects of Egyptian religious beliefs and practice. For mortuary customs, Wolfram Gratjeski's Burial Customs in Ancient Egypt is great, J. Allen's "Reading the Pyramids" and it's critique by H. Hays "Unreading the Pyramids" is brilliant for understanding tombs and the Pyramid texts. Information on specific tombs are provided by J. Romer's "Valley of the Kings", and a general series of essays are provided in T. Wilkinson et al's "The Egyptian World".
Other Egyptologists with popular published works on the matter are S. Ikram, I. Shaw, L. Meskell and K. Spence.
Beyond that, reading the texts themselves are brilliant. "The Book of the Dead: Complete Papyrus of Ani" is my copy, the Pyramid Texts, Coffin Texts excerpts and other works of Egyptian literature such as "The Debate Between a Man and his Soul" shed light on the Egyptian's conception of their own mortality.
