We specialize in butterfly releases for funerals and memorial services all over the UK Releasing live butterflies for a loved one is a unique way to honour and remember them. The butterfly has long been a symbol of freedom, love and new life or the beginning of a new journey.
How does it work?
The butterfly box will arrive the day before the funeral or the memorial service. The only thing that you have to do is to keep the box in a cool place until you are ready to release the butterflies. Don’t worry about the butterflies - while in the box they are sleeping, they will only become active with daylight once the box is open.
There are two options - either an individual release, with one butterfly in each envelope, or a mass-release with 10 or more butterflies from one large box.
We have found in our experience that the best butterflies for releases are the Monarchs and the Swallowtails*. These are the largest and most colourful of the British butterflies, and when released they tend to stay within the area as they have a slow, flapping flight. When other species are released, they tend to fly off very quickly, making it hard for people to see and appreciate them.
* Please note: at certain times of the year our usual butterflies may not be available. In this event we will supply other species of large, colourful butterflies instead.
