To Those Whom I love and Those Who Love Me
When I am gone, release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do,
You mustn't tie yourself to me with too many tears,
But be thankful we had so many good years.
I gave you my love, and you can only guess
How much you've given me in happiness.
I thank you for the love that you have shown,
But now it is time I traveled on alone.
So grieve for me a while, if grieve you must,
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It is only for a while that we must part,
So treasure the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away for life goes on.
And if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I will be near.
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear,
All my love around you soft and clear.
And then, when you come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and a 'Welcome Home'. Anonymous

 To experience of the loss of a loved one is certainly one of the most difficult times in our lives. Many people find great comfort watching these beautiful white birds soaring in the sky. In this time of loss the release of a pure white dove can symbolize the spirit returning home.
A single dove is usually released at the end of the ceremony, often released by a loved one. Watching this beautiful creature flying up to the sky can bring a breath of relief. Then, a flock of snow white doves is released to follow the lone dove to its home. Those in attendance will capture that memory, forever. The doves bring a sense of closure that nothing else can.
Oftentimes the purity and innocence of children allows them to be especially touched by the birds , they seem to understand the symbolism immediately.
Doves may be given in lieu of flowers, or in addition to them. We will work with you to help create the perfect White Dove Release.
