This can refer to a few things that are all closely intertwined. The funeral spells were rites, rituals and incantations practiced by the priests during the mummification in order to prepare the deceased for the next life. There were also the spells and incantations provided to the deceased in the "book of the dead", which would sometimes take the form of a series of scrolls the deceased would be buried with and/or painted on the sarcophagi and walls of the tomb.
