rested in peace
Died and buried
Rested in peace is the past tense of rest in peace, the conventional wish for the dead.
It appears in obituaries and memorials: She rested in peace after a long illness.
More often, it's used playfully to mark the end of something: My phone rested in peace after I dropped it in the toilet.
The phrase echoes the familiar RIP.
