If have  no sources, but "vayeosef el amov" always sounded to me like it 
refers to  something *after* death, perhaps relating to the funeral and/or burial. 
The  first two, I dunno...

Parshas Vayishlach - 35:29 "Vayigva  Yitzchok vayomos vayeosef el amov" 
(Similarly in Chayei Sarah (25:8) "Vayigva  vayomos Avrohom beseiva tova...vayeosef 
el amov".What actually do these 3  separate words for death indicate?

"vayeosef el amov"  always sounded to me like a hint to olam haba --  he was 
reunited with his relatives who had predeceased him
 
"vayigva vayomos" sounds like a certain method of death, something like,  "He 
drew his last breath and he expired"  -- we know that vayigva is only  used 
for tzaddikim so implies a painless easy death
