White Doves
| A popular way of adding that special touch to your loved ones funeral or memorial service is the release of white doves. |
| At the end of the service, family members opening the beautiful baskets and the release of the doves gives a spiritual feeling of ‘closure’ and ‘letting go’ as the doves take flight and circle several times before flying away to their home. |
| The significance of releasing doves helps the family with the grieving process by giving them a physical representation of the spirit of their loved one.
|
Initially a group of doves are released to represent the angels. As the ‘angels’ are circling a single dove is then released representing the departed spirit and will join the group before making their flight home. |
