Funerals / Memorials
Single Dove:
A single pure white doves can be released, representing the departure of your loved one into eternity. This lone dove can be released from a heart-shaped basket or a small display cage.
Flock releases:
To accompany the single release dove, a small flock release of 6 extra birds can be done. Beginning in Autumn 2011 and depending on your price range larger sized small flocks will also be available. Smaller releases tend to be more intimate and larger releases more spectacular.
Service personnel releases:
In an attempt to honour service personnel (members of the armed forces, police and firemen) whose lives are lost in the line of duty, releases in Greater Saint John are done free of charge, subject to date availability.
Cost:
The price of a release is primarily affected by 2 things:
- Number: The number of birds you'd like to release
- Distance: Releases done outside of Greater Saint John (the area between Grand Bay-Westfield and the Kennebecasis Valley) will be subject to an additional charge to cover travel-related costs. (We are able to do releases anywhere from St. Stephen to Fredericton or Moncton,).
The minimum charge for a release in Greater Saint John is $75, this would be for a single pair. Email Mike for more detailed pricing info: MyWhiteDoves@gmail.com
Booking your release:
To officially book a release, 50% of the total amount must be paid 8 weeks prior to the planned release date with the balance due on the day of the release. If the birds cannot be released due to severe weather (heavy rain or fog, extreme cold weather or wind) a full refunof monies paid will be made.
