Funeral & Sympathy Services
Memorial Arrangements
Memorial arrangements are flowers created for a service or gathering held after the funeral, or for a family's home in the weeks that follow. Bentley Florist designs thoughtful memorial pieces across Burton, Flint, and Genesee County, whether the gathering is soon or many weeks away.
Flowers for a service held later
Not every remembrance happens right away. Many families hold a memorial service, gathering, or celebration weeks or even months after the passing — sometimes to allow relatives to travel, sometimes simply to grieve at their own pace. Memorial arrangements are made for these later gatherings, and they carry a slightly different feeling than funeral flowers. There is often more room for reflection and warmth, and less of the urgency that surrounds the first days. Whether the service is in a home, a hall, a restaurant, or a place of worship, we design pieces that suit the space and the mood the family wants to create.
Styling a photo or urn table
At a memorial service, a photo or urn table often becomes the emotional center of the room. Flowers help set that space apart gently — a low, full arrangement beside a framed photograph, or a pair of pieces framing an urn so the display feels balanced and cared for. We keep these arrangements at a height that never hides the photo or the urn, and we choose colors that echo the person: soft and serene, or bright and full of life, depending on who they were. Tell us what the table will hold and roughly how large it is, and we will design pieces that complete it beautifully.
A lasting remembrance for the home
Memorial arrangements are not only for services. Many families ask us for a piece to keep at home — something to mark an anniversary, a birthday, or simply the quiet stretch after everyone has gone home. Living plants and long-lasting arrangements work well here, offering comfort that stays. When you order, tell us whether the piece is for a gathering or for the home, and share anything you would like it to reflect. Call us at 810-742-3174 or order online; same-day delivery is available for orders placed before 2pm, and we are happy to plan ahead for a service still weeks away.
How to Choose Well
- Memorial pieces suit services held weeks or months after the passing.
- Keep photo and urn table arrangements low so they never hide the display.
- A pair of matching pieces frames an urn or photograph nicely.
- Colors can be serene or bright — choose what reflects the person.
- Living plants make a lasting remembrance to keep at home.
- Tell us the venue and table size so we design the right scale.

Common Questions
What flowers work for a memorial held weeks after the passing?
Later memorial services allow for warmer, more reflective arrangements — anything from serene whites to bright, personal colors. We often style pieces around a photo or urn table, and we are glad to plan ahead for a gathering still weeks away.
How should I style flowers around a photo or urn?
Keep the arrangements low enough that they never hide the photograph or urn, and consider a matching pair to frame the display. Tell us the table size and what it will hold, and we will design pieces that complete it.
Can I order a memorial piece for our home?
Absolutely — many families keep an arrangement at home to mark an anniversary or simply for comfort in the quiet weeks after. Living plants and long-lasting designs are especially meaningful for this.
