May your ground be like fluff??

[defying-elphaba.livejournal.com]

I just have a question about this saying Russian people have when someone dies. I think it goes something like "May your ground be like fluff"?? I just want to know what it means, and why people say that. I don't understand why the big focus on the burial ground; isn't it the soul that matters now? It just seems so morbid. Or did this saying come about due to the prevalence of atheism in Russia?

I just don't understand, why wish somebody fluffy ground, as if it makes any difference...

"Here lies Billy Brown, Lost at sea and never found"
notice "here lies" part.
We just wish he will lie in soft fluff.
