How do I order sympathy flowers from out of town for a service in the Flint area?
The Short Answer
Order directly from a local Genesee County florist rather than a national relay service, so a real designer near the funeral home handles your tribute. Just call with the service details and your wishes, and a local shop like Bentley Florist takes care of everything.

Why order from a local florist
When you live out of town but the service is here in the Flint area, the best move is to call a local florist directly. National order-gatherer websites often add fees and then pass your order to a shop they choose, sometimes with details lost along the way. Ordering straight from a Genesee County shop means a designer who knows the local funeral homes handles your tribute from start to finish. Bentley Florist has served this community since 1963, so we know exactly how to get your flowers to the right place at the right time.
What to have ready when you call
Ordering from a distance is simple with a few details in hand. Share the funeral home or church name and address, the full name of the deceased, the service date and time, your relationship to the family, and your budget. Tell us the style you would like — traditional white, the person's favorite colors, a standing spray, or a home comfort piece — and we will design accordingly. You can order by phone at 810-742-3174, and we will read your enclosure card wording back to you to be sure it is exactly right.
Peace of mind from a distance
Being far away during a loss is hard, and worrying about whether flowers arrived only adds to it. A local florist can confirm delivery and describe what was created, so you know your gesture was received as intended. If you cannot be present, we can also suggest a home delivery to reach the family personally afterward. Whether you are across the state or across the country, we treat your tribute as if you were standing right here in our Burton shop, so your care crosses the distance for you.
