The Mummy shaped figures you are talking about may be "Shabtis." These were small statues placed in a tomb with the body.

They would be inscribed with spells and enchantments. These said that they would do anything the deceased ordered. * Egyptian afterlife, land of the dead
What happens after the mummification process is completed?
Usually in Egypt, after the body is mummified, they'd put it in a tomb ( a coffin with a figure of a person or a pharaoh at the front) and would store it in a pyramid. In the tomb, they would also put jewels and special things that the mummified person owned. Hope this helps :)
