Dove Releases for Funerals or Memorials

Funeral Tributes with a White Dove Release

 One way to honor your loved one as he or she passes into the heavens is with the release of a pure white dove.

  • For centuries, doves have symbolized the Holy Spirit, love, peace, hope, and the soul.
  • A White Dove Release offers a soothing touch in a time of sadness and sorrow. 
  • It leaves those present with a feeling of hope for the departed. 

Prior to the release, dove displays can be placed along side of the casket as an alternative to flowers, with a special personalized note attached to the cage.  At funerals and memorials, the dove release memorial is the final part of the service.  The release is often accompanied by a heart-felt poem that is read by a close family member or clergy/official.
