The Butterfly Release Process
Before you release your butterflies, it is important to keep a few things in mind. They arrive in a foam-lined, insulated box with instructions on top, and should be stored in the refrigerator until release. About an hour beforehand, take the box out to let it gradually warm up without placing it in direct sunlight. They should be freed outside during daylight hours on a day free of rain and extreme wind. You can learn more about the full butterfly release process on our Butterfly Release Instructions page.

“We ordered the painted butterflies for a celebration of life for a friend. Gerald was very informative with all the questions that I had. Are butterflies arrived packaged properly and we followed all of the instructions that were given to us and all of the butterflies released beautifully. ”
“My son comes to me in pink skies and butterflies. It was only fitting for his first birth/death day we released some butterflies to remember him. This company was awesome, all of the butterflies came well packaged in a personalized envelope and alive with no issues. This will definitely be a tradition going forward and I can’t wait to work with this company again.”
“Our butterfly release was the perfect touch for our bridal shower. The butterflies came well wrapped, thawed perfectly, flew out and one landed on the bride for a few fantastic pictures. The keepsake box is lovely. I would highly recommend Cloverlawn for this experience.”
