My question: What should be said on death of a Hindu, instead of RIP ?

I am given to understand that religions like Christianity and Islam use the slogan RIP for dead person, so that he/she rests in his/her grave till the judgement day.

Since, Hinduism has no such conception, what alternative of RIP should Hindus use (in accordance with scriptures/dharma) ?

  Something like "May you attain Moksha" might suite here (preferably in Sanskrit), as in Hindus "Moksha Prapti" is considered as the ultimate goal.

In tye foreign countries, when a person dies, its said that he or she has left the ghost, So they identify the individual with the body of that individual which is buried. So there is the conecept of RIP.

The Hindus, when one dies, say that he or she has left the body (deha-tyAga). So they cremate or burn the body and then do the srAddha rituals for the peace of the soul. It is believed that srAddha ceremony, if properly done, pleases the pitris and the God and the departed soul is able to move to heaven and enjoy bliss there.There is the notion of rebirth also.

So there is no concept of RIP in hindu culture.

The substitute of the wishful word is 'SvadhA' which means

sweet libation, oblation to the Manes (sanskritdictionary.com)

  Thanks for your time sir. Deha-tyAga is a fact. But rest-in-peace is a wish that people make for the deceased person. I was looking for substitute of that "wishful words".

  'Let him/her go to heaven' (svarga). The ' Akshaya-Svarga-kamana' is there in the SrAddha also.
