The Dove or white pigeon (Columbiformes, to get technical) is a symbol of Peace and also represents the Holy Spirit. The spiritual angle of (Rest in Peace) and the soul taken flight (upward, one prays) all fall in. This should not be confused with Mourning which are not used in funerary practice, it"s just a name, and these are tan or brownish colored, so-called from pathetic cooing calls. They, too are of the Pigeon group.

The doves were too tame. Releasing doves at a funeral is cruelty. The domesticated doves do not know how to survive in the wild, and will fall victim to starvation, predators or disease, if not their fellow pigeons.
