The most common synonym is "Taps" which indicates the solemn melody played on the bugle during the ceremony. Other synonyms include "Lights Out" which refers to the signal that indicates the end of the day and is often used to mark the end of the life of a fallen military member, and "Day is Done" which is taken from the first line of the poem that accompanies the Taps melody.
