White doves represent love, peace and serenity. Releasing white doves at a funeral can inspire feelings of peace and healing with a symbolic release of a loved one’s soul. It is a gift that leaves lasting memories for family and friends.

A single dove symbolises the spirit of the one who has passed away, which is released into the sky, followed by a flock of three white doves symbolising the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The doves group together in a touching display as they guide the soul of the deceased in its ascent to heaven.

Releasing helium balloons is becoming a popular way of adding a special touch to a funeral service and expressing a final goodbye as eyes lift to the sky to watch the ascending balloons. Any number or colour combination may be used to individualise your funeral service.
