This was done at the funeral send-off of Aaliyah, the singer. the number corresponded to the singer-actresses age in years. Doves are of course a Peace symbol. a more usual custom might be the ceremonial ringing of bells (monotone- not carillons or tunes)- again one for every year- this was done at the National Cathedral- when First Lady Jacqueline Onassis was buried.- this custom was also followed for Sarah Bernhardt- and chime gongs in theatres sounded the necessary 78 turns. ( the number of Platinum by the way) My guess the bell-ringing is more dignified and funereral than a release of birds flapping about.
Peace.

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 symbolic symbol of two white doves is the Holy Spirit. When you see the doves, it can also mean peace to you.
