Aslam

Praise be to Allah.We do not know of any saheeh evidence to indicate the amount of reward earned

by the one who prepares the deceased for burial, but the Bounty of Allaah

is vast. The one who prays (the funeral prayer) for the deceased will

have one qeeraat of reward (a qeeraat is equivalent to the size of Mount

Uhud), and the one who accompanies the funeral procession to the burial

will have two qeeraats. For the one who seeks reward by preparing the

body we hope that there will be even more reward.

Sa’d al-Humayd.

Washing the deceased

is fard kafaayah (i.e., if some members of the community undertake

this duty, the rest are free from blame, but if no one does it, all

will be held to blame), so there is no specific reward. But if sufficient

people do the job,  it becomes Sunnah for the rest. There are no

reports which describe a specific reward, but there will be a reward

for it because it is an obligatory duty, and not doing it is a sin.

Shaykh ‘Abd al-Kareem al-Khudayr.
