Does Judaism teach that the soul cannot rest until the body turns to dust?












1















In the movie "To Dust" they claim that "Judaism teaches that the soul cannot rest until the body turns to dust."



Is there any basis for this claim?

    There are 2 verses which allude to this, but don't directly make this claim. Job 34:14-15 and Ecclesiastes/Kohelet 12:7

    See Igros Moshe 3:143 which explains the prohibition for one to bury someone in a mausoleum, because it causes great anguish the the body.
