Tell me what you think.
"Aakhri Araam Gah" means "Final Resting Place" in Urdu, but it sounds better in Urdu. So help me give it a better name in English

Aakhri Araam Gah-Final Resting Place

Wrap me in a pure white cloth,
Wash away my sins.
Say a prayer or two for me,
let me remain still.

Place me on a wooden casket,
carry me away,
To a place where one finds eternal rest,
or waits for its cruel decay.

Watch me being lowered,
into my grave, six feet deep,
Lay my corpse on solid ground
let the ritual be complete.
