“Oh that I had wings like a dove, I would fly
away and be at rest.” -Psalm 55:6

Our dove releases meet and exceed the highest
standards of the release industry.

 

A white dove release is a unique and        thoughtful gift alternative in lieu of Flowers.

Death is the Golden key that opens the  palace of eternity.  - John Milton

Many times when a loved one passes we are left
with a sense of emptiness and uncertainty of what to do.
We find ourselves torn between surrendering our
loved ones life and God’s promise of a much better life after death.
A grave side dove release presents a quiet moment of reflection
and comfort. It gives closure and a sense of
enlightenment that the Spirit has lifted and become free.

Dove releases for Funeral & Memorial services
typically take place at the closing of the grave side service.
If an alternative service is chosen a dove release can be performed
outdoors after the service at the funeral home, church,
chapel, or any other place the memorial is held.
We have the largest collection of Poems, Readings, and Psalms
that may be read prior to the release by a Family Member,
the Officiate or the Release Coordinator.

hour before it starts to get set up and take care of any last minute changes.
Major events and timing sometimes do not work out. Our release agreement (contract) has scheduled release time,
You are given a half hour after scheduled release time to conduct the release,

Saturdays are the busiest days for white dove releases.
