From start to finish John and Julie couldn’t do enough for us all. A lovely send off for Jean and Charlie Armstrong. Very professional but down to earth people that made a very sad day special. Would recommend to anyone, we used their services for both my Mam and dad also. Lovely people. Thank you xx

I cannot thank John, Julie and the team enough for the wonderful send off they gave my Dad. Everything was so personalised and the attention to detail really captured the personality of my Dad. This was a great source of comfort to us, knowing that every aspect of the day had him at the heart of it. At such a tragic time for us as a family, they really looked after us and for that, we'll always be grateful. My Dad's funeral was lovely and heartfelt and I know he'd have appreciated everything so much. If you are planning a funeral for a loved one, you'll be in safe hands with Delanoy's.

During the circumstances we find ourselves in at the moment, I would like to thank John Delanoy for the way Delanoys looked after my Dad Micky Solan after he sadly passed away.
So very professional, thoughtful and kind was John, he made what was a heartbreaking time for our family that little bit more bearable.

they are very caring people who put their heart into making sure your loved ones have the best final day I think they are wonderful they went out of their way to give my mam a wonderful day, I was so proud 10 out of 10 to me thank you so much

What a fantastic team. Caring, attentive, flexible and understanding. The care and guidance given from the initial contact to burial was second to none. Thank you John & Julie x

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.

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.

At the most difficult of times, John and Julie were brilliant. They were kind, thoughtful, considerate and have wonderful ideas to fill the gaps where I just didn't have a clue.

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.

I cannot speak highly enough of the care and support we received from Delanoy Funeral Services following the death of my mum.
From the very beginning, they were exceptional in every way. Their communication was brilliant, and at a time when everything can feel completely overwhelming, they calmly and compassionately guided us through the entire process. Everything was clearly explained, including the different options available for the coffin, flowers, burial plot and refreshments afterwards. Nothing ever felt rushed or impersonal, and we always felt that we could ask questions or seek advice.
What touched me most, however, was the genuine care, dignity and respect with which they treated my mum. They helped me to visit her in the Chapel of Rest and made what was an incredibly difficult and emotional experience as gentle as it possibly could be. They also arranged for me to have some clippings of Mum’s hair as a keepsake—something very small perhaps, but something that means an enormous amount to me and that I will treasure for the rest of my life.
The care taken with Mum’s appearance was also incredibly moving. Her hair and make-up had been done beautifully and sensitively, and she looked peaceful and cared for. Seeing her treated with such tenderness, dignity and respect brought me a great deal of comfort.
Throughout the whole process, and on the day of Mum’s funeral itself on 15th September, we were treated with nothing but kindness, empathy, professionalism and genuine compassion. At what has undoubtedly been the most difficult period of my life, knowing that my mum was being looked after by people who genuinely cared made an enormous difference.
There are some professions where simply doing the job well is not enough; it is the humanity, compassion and kindness shown alongside it that people remember. I will always remember the way Mum and our family were treated.
I am deeply grateful for everything they did for us and would recommend them without hesitation to any family needing someone they can trust to care for their loved one with dignity, respect and genuine compassion.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for taking such wonderful care of my mum.

Just like to say a big thank you to Julie and John for the amazing support and giving Barbara a good send off from Andrew Graham and family would highly recommend you to anyone you both went above and beyond thank you so very much really nice to meet you both x

I can’t thank John enough for his professiolism and the caring way he handled our Mam funeral today amazing would highly recommend thank you xx

The Grange can not thank John and Julie enough for the amazing service they provided for "Our Tommy" from start to finish. The respect they showed, the kindness and understanding all throughout our difficult time. The tribute video which perfectly highlighted Tommy's beautiful character was such a special touch. You honestly made a difficult time easier with your kindness and provided Tommy with the best possible send off. We thankyou all from the bottom of our hearts. Delanoy, your team and services that you provide are amazing ❤️ Love from all of the staff and service users at The Grange. ❤️

from the moment Delanoy's involvement began, just a few short hours after our adored Nana had peacefully passed away surrounded by love, to the time for saying a final goodbye at the funeral, everybody at Delanoys treated nana with the utmost dignity and respect. Ensuring that they were compassionate and supportive in every interaction we had with them. Thankyou to all for making sure that our family were supported and informed so professionally, and allowing us to have time to navigate one of the most difficult parts of life with the comfort and assurance that allowed this to be as worry-free as possible.

I want to say a special thank you to John and Julie from DELANOY FUNERAL DIRECTORS whilst I appreciate its sort of a business for you it didn't feel that way to us, it felt personal, special and genuinely caring, so professional from start to finish. I don't have enough words to express how great you all were.

Thank you and God Bless xx

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

Excellent all round, friendly caring and professional. Great communication and very helpful and understanding.
Recommend.
