Spring is a time of renewal and remembrance, and Alive’s Annual Butterfly Release is a beautiful way to honor the memory of loved ones. Join us on Saturday, May 17, for this cherished event at both our Nashville and Murfreesboro residences, where we will celebrate life, love, and the healing power of nature.
Why a Butterfly Release?
Butterflies symbolize transformation, hope, and renewal. As they take flight, they remind us that although our loved ones may no longer be with us physically, their memories remain forever in our hearts. This symbolic release offers a moment of peace and reflection, allowing families and friends to come together and honor those they have lost.
