The new rector or vicar can certainly invite his/her predecessor to come back in some capacity, if that feels right, even if it's just to worship, and certainly many allow them to assist at weddings or funerals, if the family requests that. But a clean break needs to be made at the beginning, for everyone's sake.

Gary+, our previous rector, came back only to attend an assisting
priest's funeral (a priest he had hired), and then for his own. RIP.
