About Us

Wings of Grace is a family-owned and operated white dove release business. We have been fully trained and in operation since 2001 and have served the Tri-State area for over 25 years. Our beautiful birds have a mysterious but natural homing instinct and are intensely trained and flown for exercise daily by a loving and knowledgeable handler. They cannot be flown indoors, nor can they be released in high winds, fog, or heavy rain. These are considered “acts of God” and are fully refundable to the families.

They must also be released within one hour before sunset, depending on the location of the service and the current season of the year. This helps to ensure their safe return home before dark.  Building their nest together, the white dove falls in love and mates for life; therefore, they are instinctively drawn home to where a cool bath, fresh food, and loving mates await them. We look forward to spending these special occasions alongside you and your loved ones.

Spiritually led by our Heavenly Father, who even gave the name ‘Wings of Grace.’ I began this to be a mother at home while still having a business and income. Though I dreamed of weddings, God directed me to funerals and memorials first. We consider it an honor to be asked to serve families in such sacred moments. Anyone may also call us for prayer requests at any time.

With a lifetime connection to the dove as a sign of hope and peace, even in my own childhood hardships, I want young people in abusive situations to know they can reach out to me for help.
