# Closing reflection ## Purpose This marks the boundary / end of the ritual ceremony. State that we are leaving the space of the ritual. Provide a sense of the memorial's closure here. ## Ideas **Final Reflection**: Share a poem, passage, or prayer that leaves participants feeling hopeful and believing that the deceased lived a full life. **Closing Song**: Choose a song that is well-known and uplifting. Consider having all participants sing (example: Lean on me). **Logistics**: Indicate to participants whether the family is planning an in-person memorial event once restrictions are lifted. Also a chance to invite people to a community gathering or online reception immediately thereafter. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
