Come up with a reason for them to go away and not need to be mentioned again, basically. That's what I did with my character Astrid once I felt I couldn't develop her anymore.
I'd actually recommend this as well, simply because killing a character is also quite a high-drama, (borrowing from Maia's excellent write-up) "baby-killer" inducing thing to do. When you're trying to reduce your character's time in the spotlight, terminating their role in a way where characters will look like bad people if they don't mourn (i.e. spend more time thinking about and talking about your character) isn't a good solution.
You want to put them on a bus. That way other characters have a reason for not being overly concerned with yours' absence - "oh yes he said he was travelling to Sharlayan to study doowhatsits, of course he's not here" or what have you.
