"And
I say, had I but wings like a dove, I would fly and be at rest." Psalms
55:6
White doves in funerals
and memorial services are symbolic of eternal peace and are comforting
to those who have lost a loved one. At the end of a burial service, there
are few things more powerful than the release of white doves. A white
dove release creates a beautiful moment in time, providing family and
friends with a special way to express final goodbyes. The beauty of the
flight of doves is uplifting, helping loved ones realize that the departed
is journeying to a better place.
We have a wide variety of funeral and memorial packages to
make it unique and memorable for you.
Option A -
Dove Release to Heaven - $100.00
A family member or close friend can release a dove at any time during the
funeral service. The dove in this release is a vivid symbol of hope and will
aid with healing and closure..
Option
B - Trinity Dove Release - $150.00
The Trinity Dove Release involves the release of three doves, which symbolize
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This is followed by the release of
a single dove, representing the spirit of the loved one, which unites with
the three doves flying overhead. This release is symbolic of the joining of
God and spirit, and their journey to the Heavenly Kingdom.
Option
C - The Coming of Angels - $225.00
A dozen white doves are released
a short distance from the gravesite. They circle over the ceremony several
times, as if angels have arrived to escort the loved one's spirit to heaven.
Then, a single dove is released by a family member, which joins the others
flying overhead. Eventually, all doves fly off together into the horizon. Option
C is the most commonly performed during funeral and memorial services and brings
symbolic eternal peace to those who have lost a loved one.
Family
Involvement - The dove release is more
personal if members of the family participate. Usually, doves are released
by the spouses, children, or grandchildren of the deceased.
For those who wish
to release the doves from their hands, our coordinators will help you
properly handle and release the birds. We realize not everyone is comfortable
handling birds. We also provide individual
release baskets that guests can open themselves.
Fallen soldiers or any public servant
killed in the line of duty receive our services free
of charge, should the family want doves at the memorial service.
