The Dove –
a symbol of peace
Doves are a world symbol of peace, love and serenity – all thoughts that we would like to give to our departed loved ones
These emotional feelings can be represented through the symbolic release of doves, A short inspirational reading can be done prior to the release at either the graveside or in the garden of remembrance.
