The answer

It is recommended to trim the mustache and pare the nails of the deceased. As for shaving the pubic hair and plucking the armpit hair, there is no evidence for their permissibility, and it is better to leave them. However, if some of the mustache or nails are taken, there is no harm. As for shaving the pubic hair and circumcision, it is not legislated to perform them for the deceased due to lack of evidence.
