Hi Jenny Thanks for that Wikipedia being what it is, although interesting and useful is not always that reliable so I don't take everything on it at face value, I was wondering what others have found I am not saying its wrong but am unsure of the accuracy of the article Thank you for posting it though, much appreciated Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 03/01/2013 11:43, Jenny wrote: > Hi Nivard, > According to this article the use of R.I.P [from Latin Requiescat in pace] > is strongly associated with Catholic burials > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rest_in_peace >>From Jenny, Sydney, Australia
