Memorial Butterfly Release

Spring is here, and so are butterflies! Join us as we celebrate the change in season while remembering our loved ones.

Celebrate and Remember

Our butterfly releases are a time to celebrate and remember our loved ones. This year we will be hosting our butterfly releases at both our Nashville and Murfreesboro locations on May 17. You may pick up your butterflies to release on-site and join us for the community memorial ceremony, or you may take your butterflies with you to release at home.

What is a Butterfly Release?

Each spring, we remember loved ones with a live butterfly release, symbolizing our lasting love and the renewal of the season. We’re honoring loved ones who are gone from our sight, but not from our hearts. The event will begin with family-friendly activities, followed by a memorial ceremony.

When you participate, you are also helping Alive’s patients and families write a special final chapter together. Each purchased butterfly supports our nonprofit services, including grief counseling, community education, and financial aid.
