Honor Your Loved Ones With A Dove Release

Since Wings of Grace is based upon living things, we cannot guarantee any certain performance of the birds. Once the baskets are opened, we are no longer in control of the doves. Depending on the expanse of sky at the release, we cannot guarantee that you will see the “Joining up” of the doves due to trees, buildings, etc. It has been seen and said by many that the spirit dove seems to take on certain personality traits of the loved one. For Example – we had a release for a family who lost their son. His spirit dove flew from the basket and disappeared behind a tree. Once the Angels were released, his dove suddenly appeared and joined up with his guiding angels and disappeared into the clouds. His mother exclaimed

 “That’s just like him, he used to love to hide and then jump out and scare us all the time! This was such an amazing and sweet ending to his sacred burial day!”

A dove release for a funeral or memorial service is one of the most loving and inspirational gifts to give to a loved one. It has been said that the releasing of a white dove helps to begin the grieving process and opens the doors to “letting go”. At the conclusion of a chapel or graveside service, family and friends release the white doves to a song of their choice or reading a poem.

The flock ascends into the air waiting for the single dove to join them. Moments later, a single white dove, representing the loved ones spirit, is released. The single spirit dove joins the flock of awaiting angels and together they depart over the horizon to begin their spiritual journey home.

“Oh, that I had the wings of a dove; For I would fly away and be at rest” Psalms 55:6
