About rest in peace
Rest in peace (R.I.P.), a phrase from the Latin requiescat in pace, is sometimes used in traditional Christian services and prayers, such as in the Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican, and Methodist denominations, to wish the soul of a decedent eternal rest and peace. It became ubiquitous on headstones in the 19th century, and is widely used today when mentioning someone's death. In other uses within the English language, it can be used to describe finality, in circumstances unrelated to death.
