final rest

The last slumber

Final rest is a euphemism for death, framing it as peaceful sleep after life's labors: She was laid to final rest beside her husband.

The phrase appears most often in funeral contexts and obituaries, emphasizing permanence and tranquility rather than loss.

May he find his final rest.
