-Anubis: Anubis was concerned with funerary practices and the care of the dead. He was usually represented as a jackal or as a man with the head of a jackal. The association of jackals with death and funerals likely arose because Egyptians would have observed jackals scavenging around cemeteries.

In the Old Kingdom, before Osiris rose to prominence as the lord of the underworld, Anubis was considered the principal god of the dead. According to the Osiris myth, Anubis embalmed and wrapped the body of the murdered king, becoming the patron god for embalmers.

-Isis: The origins of Isis are obscure. Unlike many gods, she can’t be tied to a specific town, and there are no certain mentions of her in the earliest Egyptian literature. Over time she grew in importance, though, eventually becoming the most important goddess in the pantheon. As the devoted wife who resurrected Osiris after his murder and raised their son, Horus, Isis embodied the traditional Egyptian virtues of a wife and mother.

As the wife of the god of the underworld, Isis was also one of the main deities concerned with rites for the dead. Along with her sister Nephthys, Isis acted as a divine mourner, and her maternal care was often depicted as extending to the dead in the underworld.

Isis was one of the last of the ancient Egyptian gods to still be worshipped. In the Greco-Roman period she was identified with the Greek goddess Aphrodite and her cult spread as far west as Great Britain and as far east as Afghanistan. It is believed that depictions of Isis with the infant Horus influenced Christian imagery of Mary with the infant Jesus.

-Osiris: One of Egypt’s most important deities, was god of the underworld. He also symbolized death, resurrection, and the cycle of Nile floods that Egypt relied on for agricultural fertility.

According to the myth, Osiris was a king of Egypt who was murdered and dismembered by his brother Seth. His wife, Isis, reassembled his body and resurrected him, allowing them to conceive a son, the god Horus. He was represented as a mummified king, wearing wrappings that left only the green skin of his hands and face exposed.

-Rê: One of several deities associated with the sun, the god Rê was usually represented with a human body and the head of a hawk. It was believed that he sailed across the sky in a boat each day and then made a passage through the underworld each night, during which he would have to defeat the snake god Apopis in order to rise again.

Re’s cult was centered in Heliopolis, now a suburb of Cairo. Over time, Re came to be syncretized with other sun deities, especially Amon.

-Oupouaout (Wepwawet): Wepwawet originally was seen as a wolf deity, thus the Greek name of Lycopolis, meaning city of wolves, and it is likely the case that Wepwawet was originally just a symbol of the pharaoh, seeking to associate with wolf-like attributes, that later became deified as a mascot to accompany the pharaoh. Likewise, Wepwawet was said to accompany the pharaoh on hunts, in which capacity he was titled (one with) sharp arrow more powerful than the godsalone.

-Thank you-

Anubis-Is god of mummification, he created the mummification process, allowing people to live on in the afterlife.

Isis-Goddess of life and magic , also known as goddess of death, rebirth, motherhood, and healing. She cured the sick and bought back the deceased. Was also a role-model for women.

Osiris-God of the underworld, ruled over the dead and the power that granted all life in the underworld

Rê-God of the sun, one of the oldest deities in the Egyptian pantheon, was believed by some to be the king of gods.

Oupouaout- Wolf deity, one fo the earliest gods to be worshipped at Abydos, some say that that he thought of the "opening of the mouth ceremony" which let people have all their stuff, power and such in the after life.

This took me a while, apologies of some of this stuff isn't right.

Hi that’s what I found on various websites (rewrite by me)
It was a long and challenging tasks for me but here it is !

Anubis: "Inventor" of mummification, which he practices for the first time on Osiris, Anubis is the protector of the dead and of the necropolises. Guardian of the gates of the beyond, he welcomes the deceased and accompanies them into the underground world. Considered then as "the conductor of souls", he nevertheless plays an important role in the underworld. He protects the deceased, welcomes them in the afterlife and leads them before Osiris, with whom he proceeds to the judgment of the dead by taking care of the weighing of the heart. These functions are worth to him to be named in turn "Lord of the land of dawn", "the Opener of the ways", "the Master of the secret" ... Anubis is the undisputed master of all the rites and of all mummification techniques. He is the god of embalming.

Isis: Isis is revered for her cunning, intelligence and tenacity. Source of life, she is "the Great Mother", the embodiment of the creative power to which we owe the Earth and all living beings. From the New Kingdom, Isis was worshiped as the Universal Mother and consoler, and became the most popular goddess in Egypt, where her worship took on considerable importance. The Egyptians give Isis a special worship and show her immense piety. The Isiac religion will gain Greece, Rome then its Empire and will give way only to Christianity.

Osiris: Originally worshiped as a god of plant forces, Osiris enriched his personality over the centuries. A dead and deified king, Osiris also personifies the continuity of power and the divine essence of royalty. In the hereafter, he presides over the tribunal which judges the earthly acts of the deceased. Their verdict depends on their happy survival or their damnation. Popular mythology has built a legend that tries to reconcile the different aspects of his personality. Osiris is the god whom the Egyptians worship with the greatest fervor. His cult will even reach Greece and the Roman Empire.

Rê: Master of the gods, Rê travels the sky from east to west to generously dispense the light and heat of the sun. In his person, venerated throughout the country, he summarizes the three phases of the course of the star of the day symbolizing the three essential moments of human life, childhood, adulthood and old age.

Oupouaout: again covers a territorial symbolism, Oupouaout being responsible for protecting "The Sacred Land" (ta-djéser), in the company of his colleague Anubis, with whom he shares the appearance of a pseudo-jackal and to whom he assimilates to the over the ages.

Anubis: Anubis was the Egyptian deity of cemeteries and embalming as well as the protector of graves. He helped mummify Egyptians when they died.

Isis: Isis was goddess of healing and magic, she was also the sister and wife of the god Osiris who ruled the underworld. She was both the protector of women and the bringer of magic.

Osiris: Osiris was the god of the deceased, before he went to the underworld he taught agriculture and gave laws and civilization to humans.

Re: Re was the one who represented the sun. He was kind of all the deities, and created everything in the beginning.

Oupouaout: Oupouaout was war deity and seen as wolf. He was being seen as one who opened the ways to and through duat for the spirits of the dead.
