In English, the abbreviation R.I.P (Requiescat in pace / Rest in peace) is a common inscription on epitaphs. Is there an equivalent in Spanish, for instance D.E.P. for descansa en paz?

¡Que curioso!. En todas las lápidas siempre he visto las siglas de la frase latina R.I.P. , pero para hacer honor a la verdad , tampoco es algo en lo que me fije demasiado - 000a35ff, Dec 4, 2016
