That is similar to the traditional Eastern Orthodox funeral hymn, Вѣчьнаꙗ
памѧть

Vicnaja pamjat, Vicnaja pamjat. Blazennyj pokoj; vicnaja jemu pamjat.

"Eternal memory, eternal memory, blessed repose, eternal memory."

I remember it being sung at funerals for members of my father's family,
always brings tears to the entire congregation.
