An emotional, solemn, usually slow-paced song played during the credits. Common especially in anime and video games.
The most common type is a pensive, retrospective or sad Anime Theme Song, but it can be an instrumental tune as well. Since except in some cases the soundtrack usually supports the temper of the ending, this is often a sign of a bittersweet or Downer Ending. May also appear for a show's Grand Finale (with or without special Finale Credits). You may expect this to be accompanied by a Credits Montage.
In shows with a Wrap-Up Song, the final number may be a slower and sadder version of the main theme. In these cases, the "sorrow" of having to say goodbye to the viewers is mostly comic exaggeration (and they're careful to mention that they'll be back again tomorrow).
This trope is used often differently in anime, where the opening theme is usually more exciting in order to build excitement for the coming show while the closing theme is more somber to provide a resting period or moment of reflection between shows.
Tropes and styles commonly found in a Solemn Ending Theme:
Ethereal Choir
Japanese Pop Music
Lonely Piano Piece
One-Woman Wail
Playing the Heart Strings
Preferably provide links to the song (Youtube or otherwise) when adding examples. Take care, linked credits videos might obviously contain ending spoilers; to prevent this, it would be optimal to link the song without the credits video or mark credits videos as such.
Sister trope to Album Closure.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica somewhat did this with "And I'm Home" (Sayaka and Kyouko's character song) and "Mata Ashita" ("See You Tomorrow"; Madoka's character song), added to the disk sets for the 9th and the first 2 episodes, respectively. Both are considerably more sappy and emotional than the dark rock ending for most of the episodes. But the clearest example is "Hikari Furu," the slow, dramatic, string-filled ending of the second Compilation Movie.

Friday episodes of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood from 1971-72 closed with the solemn-sounding "Weekend Song".
A part of this song would also serve as the coda to the closing version of "It's Such A Good Feeling" used since 1972, but the solemn effect was less pronounced because the preceding portion was upbeat, and the tempo picked up again for the instrumental as Mister Rogers said his closing words.

Jejak Suara Adzan uses Rizky Febian and Aisyah Aziz' "Indah Pada Waktunya", a solemn song about someone longing and waiting for another, somewhat fitting for a show about a son traveling far away from his mother to find his long-lost brother.

A partial example: Wild ARMs 3 has a fairly sad theme that plays whenever you quit the game. The credit theme is a softer, more solemn theme of the opening theme, though possibly not solemn enough to qualify for this trope.

The Hobbit trilogy follows its predecessor's example.
Neil Finn's "Song of the Lonely Mountain" is an extended version of what the Dwarves sing in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, somehow making the events it describes sound more sad and horrible.
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug: Ed Sheeran's "I See Fire" is a mournful ballad about the inevitability of fiery, dragon-esque death. Fitting, given that the film ends with Smaug setting out to destroy Esgaroth as he did Dale.
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies: Billy Boyd's "The Last Goodbye", a melancholy farewell to both Bilbo's comrades and, on a meta level, the film series itself. It contains many lyrics from Bilbo's song "The Road Goes Ever On", which could qualify for this trope in print (at least the verses that appear near the respective ends of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings).

Umineko: When They Cry has two: Bring the Fate from Ep 1 and Ricordando Il Passato from Ep 8 (it also counts as the ending theme for the series). Ricordando Il Passato is especially noteworthy because the lyrics is basically Battler grieving and lamenting over that he wasn't able to solve the mystery and understand Beatrice/Yasu until it was too late.

The Simpsons:
"Mother Simpson" ends with a sad orchestral piece rather than the usual Simpsons credits theme as Homer sitting alone on the boot of his car for hours, well into the night. At that time, Fox started ending shows with split-screen credits with ads for Fox shows playing over it. The Simpsons staff had to fight tooth-and-nail to have the full studio credits play over that beautiful shot — and they got it.
"The Homer They Fall" ends with the emotional "People" accompanying images of Moe aiding people in need around the world.
"Diary Queen", the show's belated tribute to Marcia Wallace and her character, Edna Krabappel, ends with a montage of her life, accompanied by Bread's "Diary".

Pooh's Grand Adventure has a rock ballad cover of the film's song "Wherever You Are" play. It fits considering the film is a Darker and Edgier story for the Pooh franchise and has a Bittersweet Ending perfect for a cover that adds onto the song's already tearjerking qualities with some uplifting power ballad material.

While most episodes of Adventures in Odyssey end with a reprise of their signature upbeat theme-tune, episodes that either deal with serious subject matter or are just considerably darker (if not both) than the usual episode end with a slower and more solemn version of the usual theme. "Mortal Coil", "Blaackgard's Revenge" are couple of examples of this.

Last Exile has the catchy electronica "Cloud Age Symphony" to open the show with. For closing credit it uses a nostalgia reel along with shots of Alvis and the more reflective score "Over The Sky" (which has a One-Woman Wail to its middle).

Tutti Frutti episode 5 ended with a character's suicide. In place of the usual closing credits theme, Tutti Frutti by Little Richard, this episode ended with a lone guitar playing a haunting instrumental version of Love Hurts (a song that had been a recurring theme through the episode), while the credits appeared in red on a stark black screen instead of their usual multicoloured appearance.

Inverted for the dog ending of Silent Hill 2. The starting theme is melancholy, then the game ends with an upbeat J-pop anthem followed by a cheery "singing dog". The normal endings are played straight, however.
Also inverted in the UFO ending of Silent Hill 3 with a children's song parody and amusing cinematics.

The games in the The Tale of ALLTYNEX trilogy all follow this trope to various extents with RefleX following it the straightest with a one-two punch with the tracks "The End of Reflection" and "An Unavoidable Choice -End Roll Version-" playing back to back just to hammer it in just how bitter the ending the whole conflict ended up being. Sure, the Zodiac machines where destroyed and the alien invaders repelled, but at what cost?

Robotech: Love Live Alive had the usual opening with the majestic Ulpio Minucci theme. The closing credits, surprisingly, were accompanied by the song "Only a Fool" by Gigi Agrama. This song was actually taken from the 1986 Robotech The Movie: The Untold Story which few have seen outside of bootleg. But they may recognize it from the 1995 Robotech 10th Anniversary soundtrack double CD collection.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies: Billy Boyd's "The Last Goodbye", a melancholy farewell to both Bilbo's comrades and, on a meta level, the film series itself. It contains many lyrics from Bilbo's song "The Road Goes Ever On", which could qualify for this trope in print (at least the verses that appear near the respective ends of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings).

The Emperor's New Groove has its' credits play the very solemn, sentimental "My Funny Friend and Me" by Sting. This is a leftover from when the film was originally going to be a more traditional, grand Disney animated musical, before it was eventually turned into the zany buddy comedy it's known as today. It's a bit jarring coming after the bombastic, energetic final note of Kuzco's theme that plays over the "The End" card.

Metal Gear Solid features a Gaelic one. Almost all the Metal Gear ending songs are like this, with the exception of "Can't Say Goodbye To Yesterday" and the one to the original Metal Gear (which was ridiculously peppy). "Way To Fall" by Starsailor in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is a mournful alt-rock ballad, "The Best Is Yet To Come" is a Gaelic ballad and "Calling To The Night", "Here's To You" and to a slightly lesser extent "Heaven's Divide" are all super-melodramatic Power Ballads.

Many Final Fantasy games end with one of these.
"Eyes on me" for Final Fantasy VIII. [ending video, has spoilers]
"Melodies of Life" for Final Fantasy IX.
"Answers", which plays at the end of the A Realm Reborn 2.X series. Very notable since not only plays after a very emotional roller coaster and big plot twists, it's also the same song that played after the game's servers in 1.0 were shut down and is also the same song that plays when you fight Bahamut Prime. Likewise, the end of the Heavensward 3.x series has "Dragonsong", which also played at the opening trailer for the expansion pack.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: The end-credit song at the end of episode 8x01 is called Where the Shadows Lie. The song is the poem Tolkien wrote about the rings, being performed by Fiona Apple in a ominous, hopeless manner.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug: Ed Sheeran's "I See Fire" is a mournful ballad about the inevitability of fiery, dragon-esque death. Fitting, given that the film ends with Smaug setting out to destroy Esgaroth as he did Dale.

Splatoon has these to contrast its otherwise usually upbeat, quirky, and raucous soundtrack, with the singers being (in-universe) whatever idol group has been your Mission Control:
The first Splatoon has "Maritime Memory" by the Squid Sisters for its end credits theme, with the melody being a medley of several songs from throughout the game.
Splatoon 2 has "Fresh Start" by the Squid Sisters for the base game's Hero Mode campaign, and "Into the Light" by Off the Hook for the Octo Expansion DLC campaign.
Splatoon 3 has "Wave Goodbye" by the Squid Sisters (again) for its base campaign.

Blackadder: Fittingly, examples of this happen in the Downer Ending of both the first and (especially) the fourth season (the other two did not have enough of an emotional impact to warrant any change in the credits). The first ends with a solemn child's angelic voice singing lyrics more serious than the usual credits song and the fourth has no credits at all and ends with a mournful reprise of the theme and a fadeout to some poppies.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 has an ending theme that is a mixture of hard rock, Playing the Heart Strings, and Ominous Russian Chanting. And since Japanese, Soviet, and even Allies' endings can be considered The Bad Guy Wins kind of ending, it can be seen as rather appropriate.

The original release of the Mobile Suit Gundam compilation movies had the Enka style song "Cross of Sand" by Takajin Yashiki. The second movie had an unnamed Ethereal Choir number amongst the stars. The third movie ended with Lala Sun's theme ("Beginning") by Daisuke Inoue. The George Lucas Altered Version, however, replaces these second and third movie ending songs with the more fast paced Inoue song "Soldiers of Sorrow" (relocated from the final battle scene) and the more upbeat sounding "Encounters" also by Inoue. Fortunately, "Cross of Sand" was left alone in the first movie.

The Lord of the Rings films have different but equally solemn songs that play over the end credits.
The Fellowship of the Ring: Enya's "May It Be", which has a (relatively) hopeful, hymnlike quality.
The Two Towers: Emiliana Torrini's "Gollum's Song", which is downright funereal.
The Return of the King: Annie Lennox's "Into the West" completes the hat-trick.

Wild ARMs series:
Wild ARMs 2 has "Atomic Arms" and "Zephyr's", the ending themes of Disc 1 and 2 respectively.
A partial example: Wild ARMs 3 has a fairly sad theme that plays whenever you quit the game. The credit theme is a softer, more solemn theme of the opening theme, though possibly not solemn enough to qualify for this trope.

Outlaw Star features this for the first 13 episodes, and a slightly less solemn one for the rest of the series. Yes, both far more somber than the opening theme.
