How your dove
release works
Most people have never released a dove before. You don’t need to know what to do, I’ll guide you through it.
01 Before your release
Book online or get in touch if you’d like some help choosing. We’ll arrange the details, including your location, flower colours and a personal poem.
02 On the day
I’ll arrive with the doves in their prepared basket and explain how the release will happen. I’ll show you how to hold a dove, or you can open the basket if you prefer.
03 The moment of release
Your personal poem is read aloud as part of the release, and I’ll guide you when it’s time to let the doves take flight. For funerals, this usually takes place at the end of the service. Your video recording is sent to you in the days after, allowing you to rewatch and relive these precious memories.

I would highly recommend this service, we used if for our wedding in memory of someone we lost. Karen was so helpful and friendly! She answered any questions we had.

"such a beautiful unique touch to our day"
The Releasing of the doves was so perfect for our wedding day (they were very well behaved. Which to us shows they are well taught and very much loved). Karen shows real professionalism and her contract is fab also. Nothing was ever a bother. She even adds a little personal touch by tying in with your colour scheme also.
Much love’ Mrs Malone
