Funeral Doves & Memorial Doves

Releasing white doves at a funeral or memorial is perhaps one of the most impactful last tributes. At Laramie Lofts White Dove Releases, we do far more dove releases for funerals and memorials than we do for any other event. Here are a few considerations when deciding on the number of doves for a funeral memorial for your loved one (besides the most common choice of three funeral doves).

  • One funeral dove for each of the children.
  • Funeral doves for other close family members that have passed away.
  • One funeral dove for each year that person has lived.

While the last idea might be simple in the sad case of a child’s passing, what if the deceased enjoyed a long and happy 90 years? Here again, we have many ways to personalize the release of funeral doves. Think back through your loved one’s life and consider releasing funeral doves for every decade of the person’s life or for other milestone events. This is a beautiful tribute to the accomplishments and beauty of one’s time on earth, and works well for Celebration of Life events and other such memorials.  

The release of two funeral doves symbolizes the departing of the deceased's spirit followed by the spirit of their guardian angel. The release of three funeral doves followed by the release of a single funeral dove signifies the Holy Trinity of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit guiding the soul of the deceased to heaven.

Releasing White Funeral Doves

While the general rule of thumb is “the more doves, the more spectacular the sight and effect”, in the end, the number of doves will be whatever is most meaningful to you and your special event. Visit Laramie Lofts Funeral White Dove Release
