Who We Are...followers of Jesus, in Him providing a ministry of funeral service, cremation, and preplanning, on mission, trusting that the love of Christ, which is compelled by Him, and the truths of the Gospel will be magnified through us like living pictures, His witnesses and His here-and-now Disciples, with this ministry He willed us in.
Our Mission and Vision....to ensure every person we serve hears, feels, and sees the Kingdom of God, that is present now, living through us, and by and in Him, to be the leading funeral and cremation caregivers and preplanning specialists, humbly and faithfully providing the highest quality standard of service, with comfort, dignity, integrity, professionalism, and unity, that you, all made in the image of God, deserve and expect, regardless of beliefs, traditions, faiths, or ethnic backgrounds, while honoring your loved ones and glorifying God, in ALL we do, with the loving care we provide, empowered by the Holy Spirit.
Remember... A Funeral is not a Day in a Lifetime, but a Lifetime in a Day. Let us help share your story. Offering service beyond expectation is always our goal in providing funeral services or in planning ahead, all while making much of Jesus, praying His Gospel would be on display, through us.

Heavenly Father, thank you for the precious gift of life. Help us to cherish and protect this gift, even in the midst of fear, pain, and suffering. Give us love for all people, especially the most vulnerable, and help us bear witness to the truth that every life is worth living.
Grant us the humility to accept help when we are in need, and teach us to be merciful to all. Through our words and actions, may others encounter the outstretched hands of Your mercy. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.
~2 Corinthians 1:3-4
My name is Michael R. Goodlander. I am the owner and caregiver of Otto Redanz Funeral Home, where service above self is my priority-my life’s commitment, as we CELEBRATE LIFE, and HONOR GOD. I profoundly believe ONLY WE can provide the utmost care for your family, and my prayer is that you entrust us for your atneed and preplanning needs.
Welcome to our website. We take great pride in the loving, gentle, empathetic and patient way we serve our families. It is our 'family tradition.' Our personal, “family feel,” stands out above all, along with our unique guidance, professionalism and service that only we can provide. When we are called and entrusted to walk with you on your grief journey “we are here to serve and are honored to do so. Our true concern is YOU, YOUR family, YOUR WELL-BEING, YOUR journey of grief and YOUR healing......whatever it takes. This is our sincere promise and commitment to you....”
“May the God who loves you, bless you and console you always.”
When you are in the midst of a loss, no matter how prepared you think you are or if the death is unexpected, your world is "undone," “turned upside down" as you face a "new beginning." You need a guide and a friend to walk with you through your brokenness. “You will be given the quality, attention and service that your family needs all within your budget......guaranteed!!"
For preplanning, whether you would prefer to make an appointment to gather your wishes or choose to prepay to protect your assets, know we are here and will advise you every step of the way. There is no charge for the consultation. You can even begin the process on this website under 'Pre-Plan.'
Our Life Journey Candles
Our Life Journey candles are a beautiful and unique way to honor the memory of loved ones as a keepsake for yourself or as a gift.
