At funerals and memorials, a dove release marks the final part of the service, offering a poignant moment of peace and reflection. Often accompanied by a heartfelt poem read by a close family member or clergy member, the white dove symbolizes the Holy Spirit, love, peace, hope, and the soul. A dove release provides a comforting, serene gesture in times of sadness and sorrow.
The sound of the bagpipe is often associated with funeral services, particularly with the hymn “Amazing Grace.” Adding a solemn and dignified touch, the bagpipe helps convey a sense of closure. At the beginning of a graveside service, a moving option is for the bagpiper to start playing at a distance and slowly march toward the gathering. At the ceremony’s conclusion, it is common for the bagpiper to continue playing while gradually marching off into the distance, providing a powerful and heartfelt farewell.
