Memorial tablet from St. John's Cathedral


Memorial tablet of Baron Fra Wolfgang Philip von Guttenberg, Bailiff of Brandenburg. Fra means "brother". The bigger part of the floor of the cathedral is covered with these tablets with various pictures linked to death from manu different kind of stones - the tombstones of the knights of the Maltese Order.

FUMUS, HUMUS, SUMUS ET CINIS EST NOSTRA ULTIMA FINIS - the inscription
И don't know latin but this means something like "smoke, earth,(I haven't an idea wath could mean sumus) and ash is our final end". If somebody knows the words plese, help me with translation :)
