A few places to start for English-language sources on funeral rituals:

Lee, Hyun Song. "Change in Funeral Customs in Contemporary Korea." Korea
Journal 36, no. 2 (1996): 49-60.

Lee, M. "Theatrical Arts in the Shamanic Funeral Rites of Chindo Island,
Korea." Shaman 4, no. 1-2 (1996): 131-142.

Lee, Kwang-Kyu. "The Concept of Ancestors and Ancestor Worship in Korea."
Asian Folklore Studies 43, no. 2 (1984): 199-214.

Kendall, Laurel. "Korean Ancestors: From the Woman's Side." In Korean
Women: View from the Inner Room, edited by Laurel Kendall and Mark
Peterson, 97-112. Seoul and Cushing: East Rock Press, 1983.

Janelli, Roger L., and Dawnhee Yim Janelli. Ancestor Worship and Korean
Society. Stanford: Stanford University Press, 1982.

Kim, Hark-Doe. "Funeral of KRC Contrasted and Adapted to Traditional Rites
of Korea." Ph.D. diss., Fuller Theological Seminary, 1986.

Hope this helps,
