When death comes to a family it’s a time for mourning and sorrow, but it can also be a time for a serene and joyful celebration of life.

One of the most miraculous things found in nature is the metamorphosis of butterflies. The transformation from little caterpillar to beautiful butterfly is almost beyond explanation; inspiring awe in people for centuries and supporting their belief that a God is behind it.

Ancient civilizations around the world have taken the magic of butterflies and made them symbols of the human soul.

For many people, butterflies symbolize the spirit of the earth, representing beauty and freedom; when we connect with nature and butterflies we unconsciously feel peaceful and at harmony with the magical world around us.

A funeral butterfly release is a wonderful – and visually beautiful – way to honor a recently departed loved one.

A butterfly lights besides us like a sunbeam. And for a brief moment its glory and beauty belongs to the world.

But then it flies once again, and though we wish it could have stayed, we feel so lucky to have seen it.

As you release this butterfly in honor of me, know that I’m with you and will always be.

Hold a hand, say a prayer, close your eyes and see me there. Although you may feel a bit torn apart, please know that I’ll be forever in your heart.

Now fly away butterfly as high as you can go, I’m right there with you more than you know.
