Niagara County Cremation Care of Otto Redanz Funeral Home
As our business grows I am so very thankful for the people who put their TRUST in Laura Sweney Goodlander and I. To us, at Otto Redanz Funeral Home and Niagara County Cremation Care, it’s not a business at all, it’s a calling. A calling to serve your individual requests and needs during the time of loss, to honor the deceased and your family and glorify God, who willed us in this ministry of funeral service. Most importantly we are right beside you as you begin your grief journey and there after-ALWAYS and in ALL WAYS-to help you heal. I am thankful for not only my wife, best friend and business partner, but my staff, who has been intricate in building our business, and the support and confidence of our community. Laura and I, through prayer, know without a doubt we are where we are supposed to be.
But Jesus said that He came to “heal” the brokenhearted! The word “heal” is the Greek word aphiesi, which means to set free or to loosen from the detrimental effects of a shattered life. Through Him we promise to take steps along side you to heal your shattered life.
