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

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.

Absolutely beautiful service John and Julie provided for my dad they were so supportive and caring and helped my carry out dad's wishes. They really do care and support you at one of the worst times I would like too thank then for everything and I would highly recommend Delanoy Funeral Services

When our Mam Margaret died 18 months ago, John looked after us and took care of all the arrangements. We recently lost our Dad Henry and again we turned to Delanoy’s Funeral Services because we knew we would receive a professional service. Due to Covid we knew things had to be done differently and both John and Julie gently steered us through every detail. Julie’s approach to making it a special celebration of Dad’s life really worked and she arranged for brass band members to play as Dad began his final journey – something he would have loved.
Everything was beautifully recorded for friends and family who could not be there due to restrictions. The whole process from start to finish was handled with genuine care and compassion from John and Julie and we thank them from the bottom of our hearts.
We would definitely recommend Delanoy’s Funeral Services without reservation.
Thank you again from Henry’s Family.

Delenoy Funeral Service go above and beyond for families at the worst time. In the space of 8 months they have done my dads and my mums funeral. I cannot fault the service they provide, the little details they put in place to make it as special as possible and the friendliness of John and Julie.

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.

John and Julie provided an excellent service for the family of Doreen Middleton when she passed away on 31st August.
Nothing was a problem and carried out in a professional, caring and compassionate manner.
Thankyou John Julie and your team.

We would like to thank Julie and John for everything they did to help our family during our loss of our dear mam, they were caring and compassionate throughout our whole process and they took care of our mam perfectly, even giving us a copy of the memorial video that they created for us which is fantastic

We couldn’t have asked for better care during such a difficult time. John & julie provided an amazing service from start to finish, handling everything with genuine compassion, professionalism, and attention to detail.
They treated my mother with the utmost dignity and respect, and supported our family every step of the way. Nothing felt rushed or overlooked, and their kindness made a real difference to us.
Thank you for making a very hard time a little easier. We are truly grateful.

My family cannot speak highly enough of the kind, caring and empathetic service Delanoy Funeral Services provided to us all following the death of our beloved mam. The service and support provided was faultless from the moment they were contacted until the day of the funeral. Julie and John at Delanoy knew that mam was a long-standing Sunderland AFC ticket holder who followed the club home and away. Knowing how much the club meant to her, on the day before her funeral, Delanoy took her on one last trip to the Stadium of Light and made a beautiful short video of the visit. This was entirely at the behest of John and Julie and was a wonderful and emotional surprise for the whole family. It meant so much to us all. Mam would have been so thrilled and delighted. Thank you John and Julie. You are a credit to your profession.

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.

I would like to give a big thank you to Julie and Jhon for carrying out our Scott's wishes to the letter for his direct cremation the experience was flawless from start to finish and I would also like to thank Norman for his special touch can wholeheartedly recommend them

We wanted to take the time to say a huge Thank you to both Julie and John for the support that they have given us throughout this very difficult time.
The service that they have provided since the moment we initially made that first call, up until the day of mams service has been truly outstanding.
In particular the bespoke services that they offer really is second to none.
We have family members who were unfortunately unable to attend mams funeral due to the current restrictions, but with the help of Julie’s personalised tributes and video footage taken on the day, this will allow them to be part of mams final journey which was so important to the family.
It definitely takes a special kind of person to do what they do, consoling and supporting bereaved families but they are both truly amazing people. They act with genuine respect, care and compassion.
Julie in particular works tirelessly around the clock, and despite having other families to support she has been there for us at all times which is something we cannot thank her enough for.
She has been a shoulder to cry on, and has acted like a friend in what has been a very sad journey.
Once again a huge thank you from the bottom of our hearts, you have helped us give Mam the send off she deserves.

Delanoys were so sensitive in organising our Mam’s funeral. Julie and John are easy to trust. At a time when it is hard to think clearly, they take away the worry and stress by stepping you through what needs to happen. They listened and responded with tasteful suggestions. They keep in touch and are very clear on what you do and don’t need to think about. In the end, we had the most wonderful day which celebrated Mam’s life with all the people who knew and loved her. At a sad time, you are very safe in their hands.

Julie and John and their team made us feel like we where family and they where ours been completely compassionate to us losing a daughter and sister they went above and beyond to help us grieve despite having problems to bring a loved one home they went to end the earth to make everything we wished for come true to send our beloved Becca off in the most special way we could have imagined full of dignity and respect a truly beautiful day for a beautiful soul made special by incredible people we will forever hold you both close in our hearts thank you from all the family of Becca luke xx

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?

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

Cannot thank john and Julie from delanoy funeral services they both go above and beyond . So supportive through such a difficult time the way they cared for my mother in law was second to none. Highly recommend delanoy to anyone such lovely people

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 ❤

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 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.

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!
