ASHES TO ASHES AND DUST TO DUST
“ Ashes are equivalent to dust, and human flesh is composed of dust or clay (Genesis 2:7), and when a human corpse decomposes, it returns to dust or ash.” It also refers to the cycle of life and death, that suggests all living things ultimately return to the earth from which they came.

For example, flat rocks, plants, or trees may be used as grave markers.
