A TOUCHING WHITE DOVE RELEASE FOR FUNERALS OR MEMORIALS
Throughout the ages the white dove has been a classical expression of purity, spirituality and everlasting love.
The releasing of white doves at a funeral, memorial or life celebration can be a personal and touching way to commemorate the life of your loved one. The ceremony allows for a release of emotion and a sense of healing as the doves ascend towards the sky and to fly away towards the heavens.
A white dove release can be a deeply peaceful and healing tribute as well as a touching way of expressing a final goodbye and of letting go to of your loved one.
Saying goodbye to a love one is painful and one touching tribute is the release of 4 white doves. The spirit dove in honour of the loved one is released and followed by three more: the White Dove of Hope, the White Dove of Love, and the White Dove of Peace. As the four doves join together, your loved one is then guided to their final journey.
Whether released on the funerary grounds, outside of a church or a place that holds a special memory, our white doves can be released by hand or from one our beautiful enclosures or baskets.
Our white dove releases can be coordinated with most parts of a service and we work closely with the Funeral Directors to ensure everything is carried out to the satisfaction of your family and loved ones.

FUNERAL POEMS
One of the following poems can be read at your service just prior to the dove release adding a touching tribute to your loved one.
Poem 1
“Carry me Home”
My loved ones do not cry for me
And worry of me
For like the dove
I have been set free
God has called me
To my mansion on high
Just there among the clouds
In the deep blue sky.
I have no pain
No suffering to do
I have been called home
And I know you will too.
So beat hard and fast
Little wings of white
And carry me home
Before the night.
~Author: Lee Gilley
Poem 2
“I’m sending a Dove”
I’m sending
A dove to heaven
With a parcel in its wings
Be careful when you open it
It’s full of beautiful things
Inside are a million kisses
Wrapped up in a million hugs
To say how much I miss you
And to send you all my love
I hold you close within my heart
And there you will remain
To walk with me throughout my life
Until we meet again.

Poem 3
“Little Dove”
On the wings of this white dove
I’ll set your spirit free
Up into the deep sky
To heaven, where you’ll be
I know God has a plan for us,
He wants us by his side.
But it is hard for us to understand
When we are left behind.
Little, dove help lift our hearts
As we watch you go
God is there if we just ask,
Because He loves us so.
