White Dove Releases. A symbol of peace and serenity.

Funerals.

 

Saying goodbye to a loved one is allways difficult. Allthough a Dove release can help family and friends in the berievement process. Releasing a Dove / Doves at the end of the service or at the grave side can provide a welcome respite. In some circumstances families and loved ones may feel 'empty' on leaving the crematorium - by releasing a dove it can help them say goodbye to the departed.

 

The Spirit - 1 Dove

 

At the conclusion of the ceremony, a relative or friend releases a single white dove from a basket. Symbloic of the loved one, the dove may circle, and will fly off on its 'spiritual journey home'.  Those watching are able to emotionally 'release' their loved one, as the white dove flies off into the horizon.  

 

The Reunited Love - 2 Doves

 

A pair of white doves is symbolic of the joining of two souls. Perhaps your loved one is joining another who has departed. On the occasion that you might be putting to rest your second parent, a two Dove release is offered, to symbolize them being together once again for all time.

 

The Trinity - 4 Doves

 

Three doves are released from a basket. These doves represent the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Next, a relative or close friend releases a single white dove, symbolic of the loved ones spirit. The single dove is from a small basket. As the trinity of doves ascends into the sky they circle, awaiting the loved one. The trio of doves escorts the spirit dove in a 'spiritual flight home'.

 

The Escort - 10 Doves

 

At the end of the service, family members release the doves from beautifully decorated baskets. The flock ascends into the sky and circles the area awaiting the spirit of the loved one to join them. Moments later a single white dove, representing your loved ones spirit, is then released by a family member. The spirit dove joins the flock of 'Angels' and all together they make the 'spiritual flight home'.
