Symbolic release of a white dove
In many cultures and traditions, the white dove is a symbol of peace, purity, and freedom. As a special way to bid farewell during a burial or the interment of an urn, we offer a symbolic dove release service, marking a moment of final peace.
At the appointed moment during the ceremony, the dove can be released by a member of our staff or—often even more movingly—by a family member.
This gesture typically takes place immediately after the coffin is lowered or the urn is placed, accompanied by soft music or following the farewell speech.
Njezin slobodan let prema nebu simbolizira oproštaj duha preminule osobe od tijela i svega zemaljskog, ostavljajući prisutnima osjećaj spokoja i nade.
