Laravel Form helper with route alias

I create a from to send a DELETE method to server, the code looks like this:

{Form::open('company/'.$company->id, 'DELETE', array('style'=>'display: inline'))}}
      {{Form::hidden('id', $company->id)}}
      {{Form::submit('Delete')}}
{{Form::close()}}

However I already created an alias for this delete route, looks like bellow:

Route::get('company/(:num)',array('as' => 'delete_company', 'uses'=>'company@destroy'));

How do I use the alias in this case instead of explicitly write it out as above?

If you mean to ask on how to get the URL to that named route, here is what you need to do in L3

$url = URL::to_route('delete_company', array($company->id));
Form::open($url);

I am not sure if you can do a DELETE http request with a form, as forms only support POST and GET, you may need to use a javascript library like Angularjs, backbone or jquery. It seems this is possible in Laravel, see the comment below :)
