Actually, that would be very nice, especially if you can ask those attending to take a flower as a tribute to the deceased.
Even those who do not use it as a 'button hole' can hold it and feel part of the proceedings.
A lovely idea, very thoughtful and very touching.
Best wishes at this time

A boutonniere is appropriate to be worn on the label of a dress jacket, for either a man or a lady. It is not appropriate to be pinned on a shirt or blouse, really.
An alternative, and perhaps something a bit more appropriate would be a single wrapped (the stem wrapped as a florist would do) flower as a memento of the memorial service. It would be best if these flowers were first part of an arrangement for the service, then used to give away to the guests afterwards.

That's rather a lovely idea especially if the flower is a favourite of the person whose Memorial Service it is.
