The Mummy shaped figures you are talking about may be "Shabtis." These were small statues placed in a tomb with the body. They were in the form of humans, also mummified, and served as slaves or servants in the afterlife. Egyptians believed that leaving the Shabtis with the mummy would ensure easy living in the Duat*. They would be inscribed with spells and enchantments. These said that they would do anything the deceased ordered.
