TESTAMONIALS from past clients:

"The White Dove Release was a very important and symbolic moment of the memorial service for my sister. We received many comments from those attending regarding how special it was and how it would be remembered. David and Birds Of Peace were very flexible regarding the timing and nature of the memorial, arriving early and assisting family members with the release. A key part of a celebration of a life."

- Michael Kelly 

"Thanks for bringing the Doves to my Dad's remembrance. Letting them go gave me some closure to it all. I felt like I was letting my Dad's soul go and he was at peace and I finally could say goodbye. I loved the Doves; they were gorgeous. Take care and I wish nothing but the best for you and your family."

- Angie McCallister

"...... the doves were wonderful and we had lots of comments about how touching it was. We will definitely be interested in doing it again next year."

“Thank you so much for releasing the dove today at my sister's graveside service.  It was the highlight of the ceremony and was so very touching.  We got so many comments on how beautiful it was to see the dove released and have it circle above us before flying off.”

RELEASE BASKETS:

Heart Shaped Wedding Release Basket Description

Both bride and groom are provided with pure white heart shaped baskets from which to release their individual dove.  If desired, the baskets can be adorned with flowers / ribbons / decorations consistent with the wedding theme.  After a ceremony specific reading or poem is recited by the bride, groom or a person close to the marrying couple, the two birds are released simultaneously, and fly off together signifying the couple’s start of a new life together.  A photo of the pure white heart shaped baskets utilized for the above described release is shown above.

Single Bird Funeral Release Box Description

This small custom made box (8X8X12 inches) is perfect for a single dove release at a Memorial Service, Grave Side Ceremony or Funeral.  If the individual that is releasing the dove doesn't want to handle the bird, they just lift the front door at the appropriate time and the dove is released.  The box is light weight and easy to carry, even for a child, and is designed to keep the bird quiet which is very important at a funeral.¹

Four Bird Funeral Release Box Description

This custom made box features a divided bottom section which holds three birds that are released first.  The top section holds one bird which is released a few moments after the first three.  The box is designed to keep the birds quiet which is very important at a funeral. The birds are placed in the box from the rear facing forward in preparation for the release.  The two knobs at the top are pulled one at a time to release the birds in proper sequence.  The release of the first three birds signifies the trinity and when released, they naturally circle.  The last bird released represents the deceased, which on release, joins the first three and after circling, they all fly away together.²
