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...

Hi, everybody! I'm from Russia, Moscow. As I can see Russian is rather difficult to learn for foreigners. So I'd like to help everybody. Ask me and I'll try to answer. As well I'm looking for English-speaking friends to improve my English!
