Memory Doves was born from a calling placed on the heart in 2005. Inspired by the Holy Spirit, the vision was clear: to spread the Gospel, offer comfort, and create sacred moments through the symbolic release of doves. What began as an act of faith has grown into a ministry of peace, hope, and remembrance.
The doves themselves are part of a legacy that spans more than sixty years. They were first purchased by my father. Growing up on a farm in Ohio, caring for these birds became part of daily life at an early age. As a child, tending to the doves was not just a responsibility, it was preparation. Looking back, it is clear that God had a plan for them all along.
At the heart of Memory Doves is faith. Our work is guided by grace and compassion, whether we are celebrating the sacred unity of marriage or honoring a life that has passed. Dove releases serve as a powerful symbol of the Holy Trinity—God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit; as well as peace, the soul’s journey, and God’s everlasting presence during moments of both joy and grief.
We believe in allowing God’s light to shine through every service we provide. Our mission is to share His love, spread joy, and offer comfort when it is needed most. Every release is approached with reverence, care, and deep respect for the families and couples we serve.
Our hope is that each experience is remembered as heartwarming, graceful, and deeply meaningful, an elegant and unique moment that leaves an impressionable memory. All dove releases are handheld. At Memory Doves, we are honored to help create memories that remain long after the doves take flight.
