🕊️ What to Say During a Dove Release
Words of Comfort, Love, and Hope
When the moment comes to release the doves, it can be hard to find the right words.
Emotions are high, hearts are heavy, and sometimes words seem too small for what we feel inside.
At Love From Above, we understand that this is more than a ceremony — it’s a sacred moment of love, remembrance, and letting go. Whether you’d like to speak yourself or have me share a few words on your behalf, I’m here to help you find the right message to fit your heart.
I gladly offer free guidance and examples of what can be said before or during a dove release. Below are a few examples to inspire you.
🌤️ Example Messages for Memorial or Funeral Dove Releases
1. A Message of Love and Letting Go
“As we release these white doves, we send our love toward heaven. May they carry our thoughts, our prayers, and our memories of [Loved One’s Name] — whose spirit will always be with us. Though we say goodbye for now, we know this is not the end, but a new beginning in God’s eternal peace.”
2. A Message of Peace and Eternal Rest
“The dove is a symbol of peace and the Holy Spirit. As we watch them take flight, we are reminded that [Loved One’s Name] is free — free from pain, free from sorrow, and resting in the arms of our Heavenly Father. We release these doves as a prayer for peace and as a promise that love never dies.”
3. A Family Tribute Message
“Each dove represents a part of our hearts. As they rise into the sky, we remember the laughter, love, and light that [Loved One’s Name] brought into our lives. Though they may be gone from our sight, they will never be gone from our hearts.”
4. A Christian Message of Hope
“Jesus said, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me will live, even though they die.’ As we release these doves, we celebrate that promise — that through faith, [Loved One’s Name] has entered into everlasting life and peace.”
5. A Message of Healing and Comfort
“As these doves soar upward, may our hearts lift with them. May their flight remind us that love continues beyond this world — that the bond we share can never be broken. We release them now, with gratitude for the life we shared and hope for the day we will meet again.”
💍 For Weddings or Special Ceremonies
1. A Message of Unity and Love
“These doves represent our love — pure, faithful, and free. As they fly together into the sky, may our lives be forever joined in peace, trust, and devotion.”
2. A Family Blessing Message
“As we release these doves, we ask for blessings upon this couple — that their marriage will take flight on the wings of love and faith, and that peace will dwell in their hearts and home forever.”
