It means someone has passed away and you are placing them in their final resting place. You remember the good things about that person and move on with your life without them, but never forget them completely.

To put someone to rest is to give them a funeral and bury him/her. To put something to rest means... that is enough said about an issue, let it be, no more to be said.

It's possible that you may be thinking of the expression "put it to rest." That means to stop worrying about something.

To put something to rest means to stop worrying about it, discussing it, or trying to fix it.

that quote doesn't make sense. Putting someone 'to rest' is a burial. Putting someone 'to the test' is, well, testing them!!
