Professional TeacherHow do you say "rest in peace" in Japanese?
I understand that this sentence might not be part of Japanese culture. So I'd like to know if there is some phrase that conveys something similar. Some one asked me this question because he would like to write this phrase on his son's gravestone, since this was one of his son's last wishes.
Thank you very much.

This is the phrase which is curved on Cenotaph for the A-bomb Victims in Hiroshima.
安らかに眠って下さい
過ちは繰返しませぬから
Yasuraka ni nemutte kudasai
Ayamatsi wa kurikaeshimasenu kara
(Let all the souls here) rest in peace,
for we shall not repeat the evil.
