What does the text say about the sixteen rituals for the body, specifically the ones for death?

The provided passages from Chapter 2 mention that there are sixteen rituals for the body from birth to death, but they do not offer any specific details about the death rituals. The text only brings up this concept to highlight one particular ceremony, the "naming ceremony" or Namakaran. This is used as a narrative device to introduce the sub-story of how the author, who was initially cynical and talkative, received the name "Hemadpant." The purpose, as stated in Chapter 2, is to satisfy the reader's curiosity about the name that appears at the end of every chapter, not to elaborate on all sixteen rituals.
