Koro Pokiha by Piatarihi Yates

Koro Pokiha: a young girl's memories of her first tangi by Piatarihi Yates, illustrated by Guntis Atvars, Māori translation by Renata Raharuhi. Kotuku Media, 1992.  Bilingual Text.

Although not specifically dealing with the emotions around death, this book is a good introduction to the customs surrounding a tangi. There is a sense that Koro had lived a rich life and was prepared for his death.
