The essence and first answer at a glance (60-word summary)

When one spouse dies, the marital bond is dissolved. In matters related to washing and shrouding the deceased, the relationship between a husband and wife after death is akin to that between a brother and sister, who are mahram to one another.

The marital bond between them is dissolved. For matters relating to ritual washing and shrouding, their relationship is like that of a brother and sister, who are unmarriageable to one another.
