It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the deceased recognizes even those who carry him, bathe him, and lower him into the grave. The narrator says that I got up from Hazrat Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) and went to Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and informed him of this. Coincidentally, Hazrat Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) also passed by there, so Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him, "From whom did you hear this hadith?" He replied, "From the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)."
