How do you say "Rest in peace" in Spanish?

Need to put this on a Spanish teacher's Find A Grave memorial.

Update:

Okay. The infinitive is descansar. So the formal command would have an E on the end, ¿no?

Update 2:

And the verb is definitely descansar, not reposar, as in the French "Repose en paix"?

    Descanse en paz.

    Edit: Yes, the formal imperative would be "descanse", which is appropriate in this context. "Descansa" is the informal imperative.
