final farewell
Parting before death
A final farewell is a last goodbye, typically one spoken or exchanged when death is imminent or separation is permanent.
The phrase carries emotional weight, suggesting there will be no further opportunity for contact: She visited her dying father to say her final farewell.
Often used at funerals or deathbeds, though it can describe any definitive parting.
