Burnham & Flower Insurance

Our Start

Burnham & Flower Insurance Group was founded in 1966 by Homer J. Flower and Duane F. Burnham. The company was established primarily to provide retirement programs to Michigan Township Officials and Employees.

Since those humble beginnings, the agency has grown into six separate corporations, serving over 2,600 clients in the public and private sector. Burnham & Flower is currently one of the largest municipal insurance organizations in the country.
