Susan McDonnell

Hi John and Julie,

Thank you so much for everything you did, in supporting me and the family, after Dad died.

As funeral directors, I know that it's your job but the advice, care and attention to detail, helped me enormously while coming to terms with my Dads death.

You treat my Dad as if he was a member of your own family and we couldn't have asked for anything more.

I'll be eternally grateful for the kindness and care you showed.

Bless you both.

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.

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 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.

Delanoy Funeral Service supported me through one of the hardest times of my life.
Julie and John are both such warm, compassionate people and helped put together the funeral my dad deserved. Their support, patience and guidance throughout the whole process was amazing. They offer a bespoke service and the tribute video they created for my dad was beautiful and unique. Both Julie and John went above and beyond and on behalf of the family and myself, would like to thank them both. You offer a truly amazing service xxx

First class service . John goes above and beyond with his care ,support a d sympathetic approach , nothing is to much trouble. I will never forget the kindness he showed us during our bereavement , he sorted everything, from collecting our loved one to organising the funeral, flowers , service , food taking all the stress from the Family ,we didnt have to think about anything. Then beyond that arranging the burial of my Brothers ashes and arranging for his plaque to be made . John spoke to us every day not only to check on arrangements but to check in on how we were . His prices are also very competitive but that does not compromise on the service you receive. If I ever have any other funerals to arrange I would not go anywhere else . 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Losing someone so close to your heart is the hardest moments to deal with. I can’t thank Delanoy Funeral Services enough. Julie and John have been our strength to help make our difficult time as a family nothing but ease. The professionalism, empathy and compassion they have shown, our family will never forget and most likely will never be able to repay our thanks.

With such an unexpected experience, Julie and John guided us through the process, step by step. Making sure that everything was perfect.

From all of our family, thank you for everything you’ve done and for helping us say our last goodbyes in such a memorable way which we will never forget.

Julie Stout at Delanoy Funeral Services couldn't have made Daves last journey home any better, the time and effort to make his funeral beautiful I can't thank you enough you have gone beyond anyone else, you even took the flowers with us and put them on Dave's mam and dad's grave so they have both their boy's now Chris and Dave. You gave us all a memorable day that thanks to modern technology we can look back on and not in a morbid way, so thank you all again Julie, John, the drivers, Holly, Mark Price, Diane Fairburn and everyone who braved the weather to see him off on his last journey thank you, thank you, thank you.

Speaking on behalf of all my family aswell as myself from the moment I called Julie to let her know that my mother had sadly passed away after a very short illness that shocked us all I knew I was dealing with a very caring and compassionate lady.
Our minds were definitely put at ease as I’ve never had to deal with anything like this before.
Both John & Julie kept us informed letting us know every step of the way from collecting my mother from the hospital and preparing her for us to visit her in the chapel of rest and She looked absolutely amazing.
The floral tributes we chose were absolutely beautiful and Julie gave us various options to choose from and excellent advice on what to go for and what not to go for.
On the day of the funeral the cars all turned up and we’re absolutely gleaming and john & Julie came over shook our hands and gave us some lovely calming words and loving smiles which made us feel comfortable knowing that we were celebrating the life of mam.
Anyone looking for a compassionate funeral director I can well assure Delanoy Funeral Services as we’ve all said go way beyond expectations xxx

Following the death of our mam, Betty Johnson, John and Julie were there to help us at every stage. They provided a very caring, compassionate and professional service for all our family, which helped us during our most difficult times. We can't thank them enough for their kind help and would not hesitate to recommend their services.
A first class company.
We are also so pleased we had our mams funeral videoed rather than streamed as the quality is fantastic and will be kept forever, absolutely beautiful.
Thank you to John and Julie and all your team.
Love from Kathleen Hollingworth, Jackie Johnson and Barbara Johnson.

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.

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.
