Shloshim (“thirty”) ends on the morning of the thirtieth day after the funeral. The period from the end of shivah to the end of shloshim is one of transition from deep bereavement to resuming life’s normal routine. A mourner during this period does not wear new clothes or cut the hair, does not participate in general festivities, and avoids public places of entertainment. A mourner does not attend parties celebrating a brit mila, pidyon haben, or a wedding, though he or she may attend the ceremonies.

As noted before, if mourning has been observed for at least one hour before a Festival, shivah is ended by that Festival. In that event, shloshim ends fifteen days after the last day of Pesach or Shavuot, and eight days after the last day of Sukkot.
