Dovecote Missions

Dovecote Missions is a family-owned business that offers white dove releases and related services for meaningful occasions and community activities. Its releases can be arranged for funerals and memorials, where the birds symbolize peace, closure, release, and freedom, or for weddings, where a pair of doves represents the joy of beginning married life together. The organization also provides celebrant services, keepsakes and gifts for families, and Spirit Gardens, including meditative and fun garden options.

Beyond ceremonies, Dovecote Missions brings friendly pet visits to nursing home residents, offering opportunities to interact with a gentle white dove or an adorable pup. Its educational presentations include Pigeon Heroes, a program led by founder Ken, a retired schoolteacher, about the important missions carried out by homing pigeons during the First and Second World Wars. The program aims to entertain while sharing historical information. Other offerings listed include summer camp and services for additional events. Dovecote Missions describes its mission as bringing beauty, peace, and joy to people through its services.
