The releasing of ‘White Doves’ is a popular way of
adding that special touch to your loved ones memorial or funeral
service.
In addition to flowers, a ‘White Dove’ release for a
funeral or a memorial is one of the most loving and inspirational to
celebrate the life of a loved one. The releasing of a white dove helps
to begin the grieving process by opening the doors to "letting go" and
is sure to live on in the memories of all attending the service.
‘Celebration Doves Edinburgh’
provides the following recognised ‘White Dove’ release service however
any ‘White Dove’ release will be considered.
Spirit Release (1dove)
At the conclusion of the ceremony, a single white dove is
released by a relative or friend, either by hand or from a small
basket. Symbolic of the loved one, the dove may circle, and will fly
off on its ‘spiritual journey home.’ Those watching are able to
emotionally ‘release’ their loved one, as the white dove flies off into
the horizon.
The Trinity Release ( 4 Doves)
Three doves are released from a decorated basket. These
doves represent the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Next, a
beloved relative or close friend releases a single white dove, symbolic
of the loves ones spirit. The single dove can be released by hand or
from a small, decorated basket. As the trinity of doves ascends into
the sky, they circle on a high, awaiting the loves one. The trio of
doves escorts the spirit dove in a ‘spiritual flight home.’
The Angelic Escort Home ( 10+ Doves)
At the end of the graveside service, family members
release the doves from beautifully decorated baskets. The flock ascends
into the sky and circles the area awaiting the spirit of the loved one
to join them. Moments later, a single white dove, representing your
loved ones spirit, is then released by a family member. The spirit dove
joins the flock of "Angels" and all together they make the spiritual
flight home. |
