Funeral Home Flower Guides
Sending Flowers to Rossell Funeral Home
Flushing, MI
This guide is for families and friends attending a service at Rossell Funeral Home in Flushing. It covers how to order flowers, how the delivery timing is arranged, and how to choose a piece that suits the occasion. The notes here are independent and do not reflect the funeral home's own policies.
This is an independent educational guide from Burton Floral Design, brought to you by Bentley Florist. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by Rossell Funeral Home. Always confirm service times and delivery details with the funeral home or the family's published obituary.
Starting your order
The obituary usually carries the location in Flushing along with the visitation and service times, which is exactly what a florist needs. Call 810-742-3174 or order online with the person's name, the location, and the date and time. We design the piece, help you word the card, and make sure it reaches the right room. If the family requests donations in lieu of flowers, a small arrangement sent to their home honors that while still offering comfort.
How delivery is coordinated
Funeral flowers are delivered ahead of the family, and we confirm the delivery window with the funeral home when your order is placed. Because a Flushing service can move between a viewing room, a chapel, and the graveside, we note where each piece is meant to be. Standing sprays typically remain through the service, while smaller designs frequently go home with the family. You will not need to manage any of the logistics.
Choosing a piece that fits
Immediate family usually chooses the casket spray, so friends and coworkers send standing sprays, wreaths, and floor baskets. A palette of whites and greens suits every faith and every room, and adding a meaningful color or flower personalizes the tribute. For a graveside farewell, sturdier easel and wreath designs are the practical choice. Unsure what suits your connection to the person? Tell us how you knew them and we will help you decide.
Etiquette Worth Knowing
- Confirm whether the family has requested charitable gifts instead of flowers.
- Aim to have flowers arrive before the visitation, not during it.
- Sign with a name the family will place at a glance.
- One generous arrangement from a group beats several small ones.
- A home delivery still expresses sympathy when you cannot attend.
Common Questions
Do you deliver directly to the funeral home?
Yes, and it is standard practice. We confirm the delivery window with the funeral home when you order so the arrangement is set before guests arrive.
Can I order from out of town?
Yes. Order online or by phone from anywhere, and we handle the local delivery and timing here in Flushing and across Genesee County.
Should I send to the service or the family's home?
Both are meaningful. Service pieces honor the person publicly, while home arrangements comfort the family privately afterward. If donations are requested instead of flowers, the home is the gentler choice.
