resting places

Where journeys end

Resting places are locations where someone or something stops to rest.

The term often refers to graves or burial sites—a person's final resting place: The cemetery serves as the resting place for Civil War soldiers.

More literally, resting places are spots along a journey where travelers pause: We found shady resting places along the trail.
