Say "Om Sadgati" instead of R.I.P.

All major Hindu sacred texts, including Bhadvad Gita, Kathaopanishad, Shiva Aagamas, Puranas reiterate that as per the cosmic laws, the Jiva atma or individual consciousness, can not be destroyed. It is a reflection of the cosmic consciousness or Paramatma. It is bound by Karma & Maya, and continues its journey from one Janma to another towards final liberation. Jivan mukti, living a liberated life or Moksha emancipation from the cycle of birth into the cosmic consciousness.
So death is like a change of clothes for the Jiva atma. It travels from one body and mind to another and continues its journey. It has the same circumstances and resources it had in its previous life in the next life as well.
When you say " OM SADGATI" you are praying to the divine to guide the Jiva atma towards a higher consciousness in its next birth. Whatever Karma can be destroyed for the Jiva by performing the last rites and praying for poornatva for the Jiva it should be liberated from that. That is what "OM SADGATI" imples.
