Commentary for Menachot 81:10
אמר ליה מי סברת חובת גברא הוא חובת טלית הוא זיל רמי לה
Our Rabbis taught: A garment that was folded over is subject to zizith, but R'Simeon declares it to be exempt.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For the garment might later become unfolded and spread out and the fringes will then be found to be in the middle of the garment, and not in the corner as required by law.');"><sup>7</sup></span>
Tosafot on Menachot
Do you punish [even for a positive commandment: of this type]. For a man is not obligated to purchase a cloak that requires [tsitsit], if [he] does not [have one]. But concerning a full positive commandment (in which the Torah obligates us to do something), even the earthly court may strike him until he dies.

Rashi on Menachot
We certainly affix - we put tzitzit [on the shroud] because were they not attached, it would be like mocking the dead. As we have learned, the dead are exempt from mitzvot.
