For centuries doves have symbolised peace, tranquility and love. A single white dove symbolises the spirit and soul of a loved one whose life has now ended. Releasing a dove can be a very personal and loving gesture for the bereaved, an additional and special touch particularly in the following circumstances:

An individual, or indeed the entire family may release doves. This can take place at the graveside or at the conclusion of the service at the crematorium. The doves can be released by the handler or given to a family member for them to release personally. 

You can ask your funeral director to contact us or call us and we will liaise with them. Alternatively you may choose to organise the release directly through us.
