Delanoy funeral services recently attended to my mother following her bereavement. I can't thank Julie and John enough for their professional conduct and caring attitude. The service that Delanoy provides I would describe as 5 star and I would have no hesitation in recommending Delanoy to any one who requires their services.
Many thanks to John Julie and Delanoy team for such a beautiful service for my mam, the memorial video was amazing and they fulfilled all our wishes on the day , their professionalism, kindness and support given every step of the way really helped us as a family at such a sad time , thanks so much .
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

Delanoy's were absolutely exceptional throughout they gave my wife the most beautiful send off with attention to every last detail they were very supportive and caring throughout the whole process and nothing was too much for them i would like to thank John & Julie for the compassion & professionalism they showed at this devastating time also a massive thank you for the beautiful tribute video shown in church which filled the church with tears but also laughter it really was the most beautiful day for my beautiful wife!

My Family and I, would like to thank Delanoy Funeral Service for their unwavering support during a very difficult time on the passing of my Dad (Tony Curry). John and Julie are so easy to talk to and very compassionate, and dignified. They fully respected our families wishes and gave us the best advice to ease our loss. A special thank you to Julie for her lovely thoughtful words at the crematorium service. We would 100% recommend Delanoy Funeral Services.

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 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 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.
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.
From the moment we engaged Delanoy Funeral Services the attention given to us as a family was not only professional but personal. Throughout the entire process John and Julie supported us beyond what we could have ever expected. There was no question too big or too small. Every detail was impeccable from the passing of Fred to laying him to rest. The personal touches given by John and Julie put us all at ease - they went above and beyond especially on the day of the funeral, making sure every element was perfect.
The effort in the background ensured that we had nothing to worry about as we could trust it was all being dealt with which took a lot of the worry away in what was a very difficult time for us as a family. The flowers were all just perfect, the order of service exactly as we requested and on the day of the funeral we could not have asked for anything more.
From the bottom of our hearts we will be forever grateful of the amazing support and service.
I want to thank you and John from bottom of my heart for everything you guys did to make my dad's day so special. Your eye for detail and ideas to make someone's day so special is amazing. Thank you for all the help you guys have given us as a family . You guys are just brilliant Xxxxx
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.
From our first meeting with John and Julie at Delanoys they showed great compassion and provided us with different suggestions for Mams funeral. Julie created a brilliant tribute video to her favourite song that portrayed Mams life brilliantly. They drove pas Grampian Care home where Mam spent her latter years. Julie and John walked in front of the cars giving all of the wonderful staff the chance to say their final farewells. So many personal touches that made such a sad day so special and personal. Can’t thank them enough.
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.
John, Julie and the whole team did an amazing job for my husbands funeral. From start to finish they handled everything. I would highly recommend them. Thank you for all your support and making the funeral go so smoothly. Their service is excellent
Without hesitation, we recommend this highly professional and dignified Funeral Service. John and Julie showed care, kindness and compassion to our family throughout our very sad bereavement. They worked with true dedication and commitment to give Dad the beautiful farewell he so deserved. We are very grateful for the supportive and personal approach they showed us. Thank you.
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
Would like to say we received an excellent service from beginning to end. John and Julie took care of everything and were very professional and caring, and nothing was too much trouble. They went extra lengths to make my father's granddaughter feel a huge part of his final farewell and we couldn't recommend them highly enough. Thank you.
Outstanding service when you need it most. Delanoy were both empathetic and accommodating, taking all the hassle out of the arrangements in what is a very difficult time. I can't recommend Delanoy Funeral Services enough. John, Julie and their team are fantastic.
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 .

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.

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.

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.
