Oh that I had the wings of a dove For then I would fly away and be at peace
- Psalm 55.6 -
TESTIMONIAL
"It had always been a wish of mine to give my late father a special send off. I mentioned I would like doves and was given the details of The White Feather Co by the Undertakers. From my first phone call I can say I was treated with the upmost respect, my calls were always returned, everything was clearly explained to me, including prices, and a package was made for me to my specific requirements, my payments were acknowledged and my packaged explained. The day arrived and everything was in place and could not have been better, it was the most surreal feeling holding the doves, prior to release, and gave myself and all the family a peaceful closure to what is a very sad event. I would highly recommend this to anyone thinking of doing it and I would certainly recommend this company. Thank you to everyone involved long may you continue."

At funeral and memorial services, a dove release is a peaceful and healing tribute. A beautiful way of expressing a final goodbye, of letting go.
