We at Flanner and Buchanan understand that saying good-bye to a loved one can be difficult. Our lives are intertwined in a continuous legacy. Our facility practices an Open Door policy permitting families to be as fully involved in their service experience as they would like. Cremations are performed on site and our families are permitted to witness the cremation if they choose to.
That is why Flanner and Buchanan created the Cremation Center of Indiana. We know that cremation offers families new approaches to celebrating a life lived. Our services combine convenience, flexibility and a personalized approach to making a farewell meaningful.
Respectfully,
Barb Milton, Certified Celebrant
