Would like to say a heartfelt thank you to John and Julie and team. At a difficult time you arranged every detail of my dad’s funeral perfectly, showing kindness and helping me through every step of the way.
Flowers were absolutely amazing, and the compassion and support you both showed me on the day of my dad’s funeral was outstanding.
No amount of words can express my gratitude for the care you showed me throughout. Every wish was carried out to a very high standard and I really couldn’t have asked for more.
Highly recommend John & Julie Delanoy Funeral Services

THANK YOU
Deborah

Thank you, John, Julie and all the Delanoy’s team, for guiding our family through a difficult time. Your professional approach, patience and knowledge allowed dad to have the funeral he and mam had planned. Using a local funeral director who has supported our family for generations made it so personal for us all and you fully understood what we wanted to achieve. Dad’s funeral was a memorable and emotional day thanks to your attention to detail and TLC. We can’t thank you enough!
If you are looking for a funeral director that cares I most definitely wouldn’t look any further than Delanoy Funeral Services. From the minute they stepped through the door in the middle of the night I instantly knew we had made the right choice. The care and compassion that Julie and John showed to the whole family truly is amazing. We discussed what arrangements we would like, and they carried out every little detail we asked for, there was never a time when we were told no, we can’t do that. Due to the expertise of Julie and John our brother Mark got the most perfect service for us to all say our goodbyes. Julie was an absolute rock to our mam (Marilyn) when we couldn’t be there, and I can’t thank her enough for this (she is an absolute super star). So, to sum this up I would say they are the definitely the best in the business. So as a family we would like to say a massive thank you for everything you have done for us,
John, Marilyn, John, Michelle, David, Louise (Devine)
Julie and John did a fabulous job at doing our Shane's funeral. It was out of this world. Highly recommended. Very friendly, loving and caring people. I would recommend them to any one. They are simply great!

Sent from the Smith family,

Delanoy funeral services are outstanding! They show great empathy and understanding. John guided us every step of the way. The attention to detail and thinking ahead to help the family at a sad time is amazing. Thank you to John, Julie and the team. A well deserved five star review.
If you want a personalised goodbye from people that listen and get to know the little things that were important to the family. Dont give it a second thought use Delanoy.
They dealt with absolutely everything and guided us all each step of the way. Thank you Julie and John
My father passed away on the 10th of April he had a pre paid funeral plan which made my life so much easier at a terrible time. John and Julie were absolutely amazing through out the whole process and did not falter. They rang me text me and visited through out the whole process. Their attention to detail was amazing. When you are in such a vulnerable place you need someone to rely on and trust. John and Julie were those people, I felt comforted and safe under their care. My dad would have been so grateful for their support as am I.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my dads send off the best it could have been. Terri & family.
For friendly and professional service with Julie and John to guide you all the way listening , caring and making it count. They truly are amazing and cannot recommend them highly enough .
The entire process was brilliant, the finer details really separate Delanoy and other directors. It felt so incredibly personal and you could tell a great deal of care and attention went into every aspect of the funeral. From special touches with music that we have never seen before to an incredible tribute video, is it bad to say I look forward to them planning my funeral?
At a time when you need support, advice and complete professionalism, I cannot recommend Delanoy Funeral Services highly enough. Both John and Julie went above and beyond to ease the most difficult of times. We have trusted our loved ones in their care many times and will do so again when necessary in the future. Excellent service.
I would like to say a massive thanks to John n Julie who go above and beyond to make sure everything goes to plan without any stress. They are very professional and helpful and make you feel at ease. Highly recommended. Provides a 5star service
The loss of a loved one is extremely hard but it helps if you receive care and support at this time. In this regard, as a family, we were so grateful for the help of John and Julie. They guided us through the process and came up with useful suggestions on setting up the funeral arrangements. Everyone we spoke to afterwards were complimentary on the service, in particular, the video of a life well spent by dad (jack). Our thanks to John and Julie for making a difficult day bearable and providing our family with memories of dad which will never go away.
John took care of Dad's funeral, with utmost care and Dignity, so I had no hesitation in letting John and Julie take Mam on her final journey.
As usual, nothing was too much trouble, from initial phone call to the end of mam's funeral.
Caring and very professional, but still showing a warm friendly manner throughout.
A great partnership, giving a great service, helping to make the day a positive experience.
Delanoy funeral services handled and guided my family through everything without complication, john was at then end of the phone to answer questions about things
The service was fantastic and went smoothly
I could not rate Delanoy Funeral Services highly enough. The service they provided my family in preparation for my Dad's funeral was exemplary. Julie and John went above and beyond to make our sad occasion more bearable. I would recommend them to everyone.
I used Delanoys 9 years ago for my Dad, and just recently for my Mam.
I can't praise highly enough, they lead you through the process by hand, there's no need to worry about anything. I felt both times my loved ones were in good care which is a massive comfort.
J Jones
My father recently died and Delanoys were our first choice for acting as our funeral partners. I use funeral partners rather than funeral directors because John and Julie involved the family at every step of the funeral planning. No detail was too small for them to step in and take care of, to provide the smoothest and most unobtrusive service we could possibly expect.

Delanoys don't take centre stage in the funeral, the family do; Delanoys make sure that everything is taken care of so that the family have nothing to worry about. Nothing is left to chance and the level of planning ensures the funeral is as smooth as possible, and their local knowledge and local contacts eases the pressure at an incredibly stressful time.
sent on behalf of the Chandy family

Dear John and Julie,

On behalf of the Chandy family we are sending our heartfelt gratitude for all you have done since losing our Dad, Dr Joseph Chandy.

We expected a professional approach but we were overwhelmed how personal you made the whole experience. The memorial video you made of our Dad brought everyone to tears that watched it. Furthermore you also created a beautiful video compilation of the day including the procession through Horden village that has captured the moment forever and was so moving.

You accommodated all our personal requests and went the extra mile to make it happen.

You held our hands every step of the way. Thank you so much for making a difficult time so special and spiritual.

Warm regards

Joseph, Paul and Leanne Chandy
I really don't know were to start with how amazing this service is, they go above and beyond to make you feel as comfortable as ever at such a difficult time, from the day I lost my mam they were with me from day 2 helping me plan everything, making sure everything was in place so she could have the most amazing send off, even went out there way to take me to my mams favourite places to make the most precious video ever, and most of all took really good care of my mam and made her look as beautiful as ever, me, my family and peppa would really like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for literally every little thing Julie and John have done you guys are amazing the best funeral service by far ❤

We appreciated Emma the celebrant for how beautifully the service was conducted, the sensitivity of the staff, the thoughtful way you handled the arrangements, It was clear how much care you put into honoring my mam, Phoebe Lloyd life, and we received many comments from family and friends about how perfect the service was
Thank you so much, John and Julie.

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.

My husband, Bill, said he wanted a no fuss, simple funeral and that is what Delanoy arranged for us. My daughter and I have nothing but praise for the professionalism, caring and compassion shown to us by Julie and John. They were like friends we had known for a long time and nothing was a trouble. The funeral was a simple but beautiful closure to his life. My daughter and I can only compliment and recommend them, and their staff, for their support and organisation at such a sad time.
