closure ceremony
Final official gathering
A closure ceremony is a formal ritual marking the end of something—a project, relationship, grieving period, or life chapter.
The term appears in therapeutic and self-help contexts, where such ceremonies help people process transitions and move forward: We held a small closure ceremony after scattering her ashes.
The emphasis is on psychological completion rather than mere termination.
