How Does it Work?: It's very simple. Your live butterflies are air expressed to you overnight, to arrive the day before the Funeral or Memorial. Our butterflies are delivered in specially tailored release triangular boxes. The natural dark and cool condition keeps the butterflies in a comfortable resting state until the day of release. The butterflies come to you fed and content, so they require no special attention. Once the package is opened the natural heat and light will awaken these sleeping beauties and inspire them to take flight.

Why do it?

A butterfly release is a unique experience, Butterflies are symbols of the spirit of transformation. A butterfly release is a positive way to send off your loved ones into their next life. Many Native American tribes believe that in your heart if you have a secret wish or desire, wish it upon the wings of a butterfly and the butterfly will carry your wish up to the great spirit to be granted.

If you have a next day early morning service there are two options that we can offer. First being that someone pick them up from the delivery companies location by 9 am or have them 'First Overnight' to the location of the service. In most cases the 'First Overnight' isn't soon enough. So please mention this when placing your order.

How are they shipped?

Each Monarch butterfly is hand fed and carefully inspected before delivery to ensure a perfect release. We place one butterfly in our specially designed tricangular casrdstok box. All of the special packets are placed into a protective box. The protective box is then safely packaged into an overnight shipping box. The butterflies are perfectly safe and content, so they require no special attention. The natural dark and cool condition keeps the butterflies in a comfortable resting state until the day of release. Your live butterflies will be air expressed to you overnight, to arrive the day before the Funeral. You simply keep the shipping box in a safe place, away from heat, until the day of the release. We have been providing butterflies for several years without any problems. We guarantee all of your butterflies will arrive healthy and fly.

Note: It must be over 55 degrees outside for the butterflies to be released. Please call us to discuss your specific weather requirments if you are unsure.

Internet alert!

Because there is increased demand for butterfly releases at Funerals,Weddings and special events, we want to caution you to be aware! There are several internet companies that have recently jumped into the business. These companies do not always have the proper facilities to produce strong, healthy butterflies. Many of these companies try to get you to buy from them at a very reduced price. Unfortunately, because of their lack of knowledge and experience, they are often unable to deliver your order.
