*WARNING: MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS*
At the end of the book it does not clearly state if Gabriel and Jonas die. However, it depends on the point of view of the reader. He could have died, or could have made it to Elsewhere. However, in the third book of the trilogy, the book mentions a Leader who came to his Village in a red sled. He had blue eyes, and was a young adult. It mentions a mischievous 8-year-old named Gabe briefly, so it can be assumed that Jonas survived at the end of The Giver.
Jonas could have died at the end or he could not have. It says that he saw some lights so that means he could see heavens lights or he could have seen the town lights he also heard singing so that could be angels or that could be the town people. He also saw the people so that means he could of seen the angels or the town people. So in reality it's up to your imagination.. so go crazy! Lol :D
Somebody dies and this is a ceremony to commemorate the persons life
The ceremony of loss is when someone dies(not from release) and the people suddenly forget about them.
Jonas' first startling and disturbing memory is of war, with cries and groans of wounded and dying soldiers. This memory is given to him by The Giver to help him understand the pain and suffering that exists outside their seemingly perfect community.
I don't think he dies. The book doesn't make it clear. I think he sees 'the elsewhere' and the story ends. To me it seemed that it continues and they make it to the place and are helped back to health.
Roberto did not receive a replacement ceremony in "The Giver" because he failed in his training as a Nurturer and was released from the community instead. In the story, a replacement ceremony is only held when a citizen dies or is released from the community, but not specifically for those who fail in their assignments.
After transmitting the memory to Jonas, the Giver's role is to guide and support Jonas as he becomes the new Receiver of Memory. The Giver also helps Jonas navigate the emotions and challenges that come with his new role, serving as a mentor and source of wisdom. Ultimately, the Giver stays behind in the community while Jonas escapes, holding onto the memories and continuing to provide guidance to those left behind.
In the book "The Giver" by Lois Lowry, the protagonist, the Giver, is not explicitly mentioned as being married. The focus of the story is primarily on the relationship between the Giver and Jonas, the main character.
In Lois Lowry's novel "The Giver," the Giver's real name is never revealed. He is simply known as the Giver, as is the role he plays in the community.

The ceremony of loss is when a character in the community passes away or in other words, dies. People talk about that person and say nice things about them.
