May thy body rest in peace. Lord! In setting this stone to the memory of I beseech Thee to grant repose to his (her) soul, give him (her) the peace of the righteous, and admit him (her) to the joy of contemplating Thy divine presence.

Excerpt from The Book of Life: A Complete Formula of the Service and Ceremonies Observed at the Death-Bed, House of Mourning and Cemetery; Together With Prayers on Visiting the Graves

O Lord! may my (brother s - sister's) spirit have attained to eternal peace, that (his - her) heart, satisfied by Thy river of love, be filled with the highest clearness and cheered by the highest salvation! Peace be unto this consecrated spot that contains these remains. Amen.

At a Brother's or Sister's Grave.

May peace be thine, dear friend of my youth! What gentle memories and bitter regrets cluster around this tomb. Alas! death claimed thee too soon, and removed thee too early from those who loved thee. What grief! to think that we, whom one roof sheltered, one mother nourished, the same hearts cherished and the same hands blessed, are forever separated! We were so happy together; thy friendship was so sweet a support. Alas! thy departure has turned our joy into mourning. Nothing on earth is lasting. I grieve in my selfishness at having lost, thee; but thou art happy near our Heavenly Father, and this thought will inspire me with courage and resignation, as likewise the glorious hope of meeting thee again in a better world, where eternal joy awaits the righteous.

O my God! grant unto my brother's (sister's) soul the happiness of the righteous; grant that, purified by death, he (she) may rejoice in the beatitude of Thy divine presence. Amen.
