Can I release butterflies at a funeral or memorial?
Want to celebrate someone's life in a really beautiful and unique way? Have you thought about releasing butterflies at your next funeral or memorial service?
Butterfly releases can be a helpful and therapeutic way to say farewell to a loved one. There are a number of organisations you can contact to learn more (links will be below). However, here are a few things you need to know about releasing butterflies:
Notice required: Most providers need at least two weeks to a month's notice to breed and prepare the butterflies.
Timing: Butterflies should be released during daylight hours, ideally between 10a.m. and an hour before sunset. There are certain months of the year when the availability of butterflies is limited.
Temperature: Ensure the temperature is above 20°C for the butterflies to be active and fly properly.
Weather: Avoid releasing in rain, extreme wind, or very cold temperatures, as the butterflies will not fly.
Types of Butterflies: The butterfly species available will depend on seasonality and the provider's breeding program.
Delivery: In most cases, the butterflies you require will be couriered to you.
