      Our Roots Run Deep...

      Sending Beautiful Flowers Worldwide begins here in the Fox Valley. We can’t claim a corner on the market anywhere else, if we can’t deliver the goods to our own back yard. Memorial Florists business philosophy is summarized in our mission statement:

      To deliver the freshest and highest quality flowers, plants and gifts accessories, while providing the utmost in customer service.

       

      Flowers send feelings. Each customer has a specific and unique need. It may be Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day, but no two Valentines and no two Mothers are alike. Since 1923, and with the transfer of leadership through four generations of the Aykens family, Memorial Florists and Greenhouses has provided personal service and a keen attention to detail with every order.

       

      For over 25 years, Memorial Florists & Greenhouses has been honored to be in the top 250 florists among 28,000 nationally.
