Petals From Above
Most of the petal drops we fly are for funerals, memorial services, and celebrations of life. We also fly them for proposals, vow renewals, prom send-offs, and milestone birthdays. The service runs the same way regardless of occasion: you host the gathering at a location of your choice within 25 nautical miles of our Detroit facility, our team coordinates the timing of the drop with you, and the helicopter handles the rest from above.

"My mom would have loved it."
We held my mother's celebration of life at our family's lake house north of Detroit. She loved roses, so when my brother found MyFlight and saw they did petal drops, it felt right. I called and the team walked me through everything, asking a lot of questions about the location to make sure the flyover would be safe. I appreciated that.
The day of, we gathered everyone at the lake house. My brother was on the phone with the team to coordinate timing. They said the helicopter wouldn't take off until we confirmed everyone was outside. We were all on the dock when it came over the trees. It hovered for a few seconds and then released the petals. They came down really slowly. My niece said it looked like it was raining flowers.
It gave us a moment where we were all looking at the same thing at the same time. I think Mom would have loved it.

As low as the conditions safely allow. The exact altitude depends on the location, surrounding terrain, air traffic, and airspace restrictions. Your pilot makes the call.
No. Some locations can't be flown over due to airspace restrictions, safety considerations, or access limitations. If your location isn't approved, we'll work with you on alternatives.
We reschedule at no charge. Memorials often have tight timing constraints, so we prioritize these reschedules.
No. The drop is designed for the people on the ground. Only MyFlight staff is approved on the flight during the drops.
We will only release the petals when the point of contact for the event explicitly says the entire group is ready. Once confirmed, the helicopter will depart and drop the powder. The helicopter will not hover waiting for the group to be ready, so be sure to have everyone outside!
We typically still fly in windy conditions. However, excessive winds will require us to reschedule. We cannot guarantee that the petals will land directly overhead due to wind conditions. Our pilots and staff try their best to ensure it gets as close to the group as possible.
