The Spirit Horse Farm White Dove Release Gallery

• The Spirit Horse Farm places the health and safety of our doves first and foremost. For this reason, we adhere to a humane release policy with strict provisions to protect our birds from dangerous circumstances.
• We maintain only properly banded, healthy, white racing pigeons who are trained to return home when released.
• We will not release our birds in inclement weather including thunderstorms, fog, high winds and snow. A total refund of monies shall be afforded should inclement weather prevail and result in a cancellation.
• We do not release our birds at night or within one hour of sunset.
• We do not release our birds indoors or near power lines.
• We do not provide birds for self release. An experienced coordinator accompanies our birds to each event.
• Our goal is to enhance your celebration with a flawless release and to assure a safe flight home for our doves.
• • The Spirit Dove Release  A single snow white dove is released in a symbolic tribute to your loved one at the conclusion of the gravesite or memorial service. Usually, the dove is released from the hand of a family member, or, if you prefer, directly from a basket. People have expressed how comforting it feels to release the dove, how it opens up the grieving process, and how it allows them to say a final farewell and let go. When released, the dove will usually fly directly into the sky, and when he has his bearings, return home.
  • The Trinity Release Three doves symbolizing the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are released, followed momentarily by a single dove representing the spirit of your loved one. The single dove will usually join the three doves in formation, and they will fly home together.
  • The Final Journey Home  A single dove is presented to a family member to release. Momentarily, a flock of ten white doves are set free to join the single dove in flight. The single dove signifies the soul of the departed, and the flock symbolizes the spirits of those loved ones who have passed before, welcoming and showing the departed soul the way home. As the single dove soars with his flock of angels and ascends into the heavens on his final journey home, you will experience a truly touching conclusion to your loved ones service.
  • The Dove Companion  A snow white dove in a beautiful cage is placed near your loved one during visitation.
