John and Julie are such professionals at what they do, making such hard and testing times go smoothly. Would recommend to anyone, can’t thank them both enough for everything they done.

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.

Delanoy Funeral Service provided an absolute fantastic tribute to the life of my mam. I could not have asked for a better service John and Julie are such wonderful people and nothing is too much trouble. They organised everything for me from the flowers to the service books and they were outstanding! I have used this company for three of my family members now and I would never use anyone else. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I would not hesitate to recommend John and Julie from Delanoy Funeral Services. From start to finish their professionalism and care is second to none. Nothing is too much bother to them and they work over and above to ensure everything runs smoothly. I found the respect they showed to my mum comforting.

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.

On behalf of Lawrence Mc Donald's family I would like to express our heartfelt thanks to John and Julie .At a distressing time they have supported the family with great respect and professionalism. Dad's requiem mass was beautiful with touches suggested by John and Julie. They also conducted my Mams funeral (Doris) a year ago with the same attention. Excellent communication is a trademark of their service and ongoing support. Thank you so much for everything you have done for the family.

The service from the team at Delanoy Funeral Services was superb from the initial contact right up to the actual service. The courtesy and dignity displayed throughout was second to none. They went above and beyond to create a celebration of my dad's life, encapsulating every aspect of it in a beautiful way, including a beautiful video tribute, which was well met by everyone who attended. They also looked after us ensuring we didn't have to do anything, as it was all looked after for us, allowing us to be part of the service and allowing us to grieve, in our own way, and say goodbye.
Thanks Delanoy, will definitely know where to go in the future.

Feb 2024:
The future arrived, we lost our mum in January and immediately contacted Julie and John. Once again they were superb. My mum got a fabulous send off, as good as, if not better than my dad's. Everything we asked for was done with dignity and compassion, we just 'turned up' and celebrated her life. Thanks again for making it so special. We would highly recommend Delanoy Funeral Services x

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

Excellent service beginning with collection of Adrian from hospital to preparing him for the chapel of rest. Then the personal touches leaving the coffin overnight at his home. The funeral cortège to the crematorium then the service. Special tributes, photograph display and the humanists eulogy of Adrian’s life.

John and Julie and their team were exceptional from first contact through to the final funeral day. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone. The service they provided was professional and efficient and always personal and caring. Their care and compassion was a great support to us.They guided us step by step through a stressful experience, nothing was too much trouble and they helped us to carry out the last wishes of a much loved mother. They ensured that everything ran smoothly and every detail was taken care of. Their sensitive and respectful approach gave us absolute confidence to entrust them with the care of our loved one. Our visit to the Chapel of Rest was hugely comforting to the family and enabled us to say our last goodbyes in a tranquil and dignified setting. Thank you.

My family & I can't thank John & Julie enough for their support & guidance at such a devastating time. Their professionalism, along with their caring & respectful approach was exactly what our family needed in dealing with the loss of my father. Thank you both for helping us through the process, words can not express how grateful we are.

This funeral service is second to none. We really can't thank John and Julie enough following the funeral of my father, Ian Berry. They treated us with the utmost respect and compassion throughout this difficult time, giving us their professional advice while accommodating our requests and wishes. Nothing was too much trouble for them, their priority was our happiness with the service they provided, which has gone beyond the actual funeral. They gave Ian a send off to be proud of, for which we'll be eternally grateful.
