I had an aunt who believed that if you talked at length about a dead relative it would make them restless. So you had to stop and say, "God rest his/her soul."

There was a talk show host who believed the same. After talking about his dead relative he would say, "God rest her soul."

See, you just have to know how to do it. First you agitate them and then you put them back at rest.
