One might look at:

Gerhard Oberhammer (ed.), Im Tod gewinnt der Mensch sein Selbst: Das 
Phaenomen des Todes in asiatischer und abendlaendischer Religionstradition, 
Wien, 1995 (Beitrag zur Kultur- u. Geistesgeschichte Asiens nr. 14).

This volume contains several very interesting articles, including ones by 
Oberhammer, Heesterman, Schmithausen, Halbfass, Wezler, Hulin, and Vetter, 
spanning Vedic ritual, Upanisads, Pasupata Saivism, Dharmasastra etc. etc.
