A Tradition Rich With Symbolism
Releasing white doves at a funeral is a memorable way to bring a sense of calm and closure to friends and family. It has symbolized many things in different cultures, including peace, hope, love, and devotion.
In Christian religions, it symbolizes the spirit ascending to heaven, which makes it a particularly graceful element for a Christian funeral service. A funeral dove release can represent the passage of your loved one’s soul to heaven, giving each guest a moment of quiet contemplation and a sense that their dearly departed is at peace.
A Range of Options
In addition to the general symbolism of white doves, you can add layers of meaning by customizing exactly how many doves are released. In this tradition, there are a handful of significant numbers. A single dove represents the loved one who has passed on, while three doves can represent the Holy Trinity in Christian ceremonies. Similarly, seven doves released represent seven angels in white.
12 doves in a grouping signify the 12 great blessings: love, faith, comfort, hope, peace, grace, benevolence, joy, wonder, strength, praise, and perseverance. And lastly, 21 doves can act as a respectful alternative to the 21-gun salute at military funerals.
