Buchanan, fourth generation owner and CEO. “We believe that Prairie Waters is the new model and I’m proud of this innovation. We are also pleased that we bucked the trend that a funeral needs to be sequestered in a traditional design and decorated ‘funeral home.’” The 12,500 square-foot natural stonecrafted facility can accommodate up to 240 guests and celebrates the beauty of natural Indiana. It features 600 square footage of glass, 14-foot ceilings and serene water views since it sits beside a small lake. In addition to ample parking and easy handicap access, the one-floor structure is adorned with Indiana art and allows for up to 90 people to easily access the natural stone patio. Founded in 1881, Flanner Buchanan is family-owned with 13 event facilities located throughout Indianapolis. They have been a national leader in cremation since 1904, a local pioneer in green funerals, and a specialist in ceremonial events such as weddings, family gatherings, and civic meetings.
