Very highly recommended
Julie spoke to my girls a couple of days ago to see if they were okay and they made it very special by including a video for memories they made the girls included in the video showing there necklaces of their mam what a lovely touch they are the best and always looked out for us 5 star service!

We cannot thank John, Julie and their staff enough for all their help, kindness, compassion and understanding. They helped make a very heartbreaking time a little easier. Natalie’s pink coffin was beautiful and just what we wanted for her and the pink ties worn by John and Julie were a lovely, unexpected addition. We were also touched by the lovely post on their Facebook page, helping to share our sad news.

Just to say a very special thankyou to all of those at Delanoy Funeral Services.
John, Julie & the fellas went above and beyond for not just my Nana Mac but also for my family too.
I had never gotten to see my Nana in the chapel of rest but from what I’ve been told by my Nanas brothers & sisters, she had looked beautiful and at peace ♥️.
So from myself, my mam & sister - Thankyou so much x

We would like to thank John,Julie, and the Delanoy team for giving guidance, and support to my family at the this very difficult time. The funeral was explained and every detail was covered making the day as she would have wanted it. I would highly recommend the Delanoy team for their professionalism, compassion, and support throughout.

Toni Longstaff

There simply aren’t the words to express our Thanks to Julie & John. Over the past month Delanoys have gone above & beyond to ensure our Dad’s wishes were honoured. Dad was treated with dignity & the empathy shown towards us simply could not be matched. The knowledge & care whilst arranging our Dads final journey was a huge comfort knowing if Dad was here, it would have received his approval. From their first visit to the day of the funeral, nothing was too much. We simply cannot recommend Delanoys enough, on behalf of Joe Stout’s family, Thank You from the bottom of our hearts.

Delanoy Funeral Services were wonderful; John & Julie offered a professional but very personal touch to their service & made a very sad occasion a celebration of the lovely person we lost. They made us feel comfortable to make the right decisions for us whilst giving us options when asked. I was recommended Delanoy Funeral Services by different friends who recently also sadly used them & we were definitely not disappointed, so just thank you very much!

Delanoy Funeral Services provided truly exceptional care during such a difficult time for our family. From the very beginning, they were kind, patient, and incredibly compassionate, which made a world of difference to us.

They took the time to really listen and understand what we wanted, and it was clear that they genuinely cared about every detail. Seeing my mam in the chapel was both emotional and comforting, she looked absolutely beautiful, and her hair was done to perfection. That meant so much to us.

A heartfelt thank you to John, Julie, and the entire team for their support, kindness, and professionalism. We are so grateful for everything you did.

Julie and John helped immensely with my dad’s funeral earlier this year. They were professional, patient, highly responsive, kind and generous with their time. I didn’t know what to expect or how to navigate a death in the family, but they made everything clear and arranged things with a minimum of fuss. I was glad to have this team by my side at a difficult time. Recommend.

Thank you very much to John and Julie at Delanoys Funeral service for making the final farewell for my son Gareth Richards perfect.
Your professionalism , compassion and genuine caring approach throughout has made what is the worst time of our lives a bit more bearable. A truly comforting and bespoke farewell for my wonderful son.
Thankyou also to Sharon the celebrant att the crematorium who again through her professionalism delivered words showing a snapshot of Gareths short life.

I’m so pleased I chose Delanoy Funeral Services to assist with arrangements after the loss of my dad. The whole process was made much more bearable due to John and Julie’s friendly, caring and sympathetic approach. They looked after myself and my family from day 1. Their knowledge and professionalism shines through and together they made my dad’s funeral a day I know he would have been proud of, with some extra personal touches. I wouldn’t hesitate in using their services again (although hopefully not for a long time!) and will definitely recommend. Thank you so much!

On behalf of the family of the late Margaret Gillespie I would like to thank John, Julie and all their staff for the support they gave to us after the passing of our Aunty. Aunty Margaret died in North Tees Hospital and she was buried in Kilcar, Co. Donegal, Fire.
John and Julie organised and advised us on the funeral arrangements here with thoughtfulness and compassion.
We were kept informed of Aunty Margaret's repatriation throughout on her journey back to Ireland. For all of this we are truly grateful.
Thank you John and Julie.

Sarah Hussey

An excellent service from John and Julie whilst arranging my father in laws funeral. Their professionalism, compassion and thoughtfulness was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble. Can wholeheartedly recommend them.

Frances Boyd

During your saddest times Julie and John are the people you need. Julie’s incredible and genuine warmth and John’s quiet, reassuring professionalism will navigate you through this awful time. Nothing is too much trouble and no question is too silly. Always contactable you’re made to feel like you’re their only priority. We felt so fortunate to have found them and to have been able to entrust our mum to them. Everything was so beautifully, tastefully and respectfully orchestrated. We could not have been more pleased with how the day went and we cannot thank them enough.

Dee Robson

Dear John and Julie
We are deeply grateful for your kindness, understanding and support during this very difficult time. Your compassion and professionalism and the way that you made such a difficult time easier for us is without measure. Your compassion during our initial consultation was a great comfort to us and your thoughtful advice and unwavering guidance helped the family to navigate a very challenging period in our lives. You arranged mams funeral , creating a very meaningful and personal journey that truly honoured our wonderful mam , and for that we say thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Gordon Ritchie

During the most difficult day of our lives, Delanoy provided a professional and dignified service. They provided empathy, compassion, and respect to the family.

Working with John and Julie, we were able to add the details we wanted to give Marie a beautiful sendoff she deserved. We were able to mourn and say goodbye in the way we wanted. When we had any questions, both provided important knowledge and expertise.

Throughout the planning of the funeral and during the funeral, both John and Julie gave us guidance, advice, support and were there every step of the way. I highly recommend Delanoy to anyone looking for an outstanding funeral service.

Thank you for everything.

We, as a family, would like to express our heartfelt thanks to John and Julie at Delanoys Funeral Directors for all the care, compassion, and support you have shown us during such a difficult time.

You both truly went above and beyond to make everything as easy and comforting as possible for our family. Your professionalism, kindness, and attention to every detail from start to finish were exceptional. Organising a band for Marty’s farewell made the service even more special, and every detail was carried out perfectly.

Thank you again for everything you have done for us. It will never be forgotten.

I had no hesitation in contacting Delanoy funeral services after the previous experience we had with the passing of my mother.

I lost my soul partner Ian Calvert , the support and care through the most difficult of times helped me through. I could not recommend this service high enough to anyone.

The service from John and Julie is so personalised and second to none.

On behalf of the family of the late Kevin Hall.
We as a family cannot speak highly enough of the personal, professional and respectful way John and Julie handled our Dad’s funeral.
From the day our Dad passed right up to the day we laid him to rest they went above and beyond in making the day perfect even with a few last minute touches and surprises for the family. They were extremely considerate and showed empathy throughout in what was a very difficult time for all of us and for that we will always remain extremely grateful. We cannot recommend them enough.

Thank you John, Julie and all your staff.
