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
Julie & John provided a excellent service for my mam Mary Williams funeral. Very professional would highly recommend them.
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.

Thankyou for an excellent service. John and Julie have supported myself and family through the whole process even when changes were needed. I would highly recommend to anyone, thank you
Well what can I say about Delanoy Funeral Services.... Once again for the 2nd time in less than 18 months April this year required me to call upon John Delanoy and Julie Stout from this first class company ....I cannot find anymore words than I already have to express my heartfelt gratitude.... appreciation...and sincere thanks for their professionalism....there understanding ....their compassion...let alone their need to ensure that everything they plan ...execute and finalize is done without mistakes with great passion and of the highest of standard and quality .....Our hearts as a family was still in pieces after loosing dad less than 18 months before mam died in April but John and Julie took the reigns as friends not just a business and planned the start of mams final journey form the minute she was taken ....Their ability to make you feel relaxed and not hassled is one of the many traits that put this company on a pedestal head and shoulders above many other undertakers .....The little touches extra sentiments and thoughtful words leave a long and lasting impression leave a lot to be desired ....I will be eternally grateful for their guidance and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who has the unfortunate task of planning a loved ones final journey .....Let Delanoy Funeral Services take the worry out of making sure it's all done properly ...professionally and with ease .....❤️

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.

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?
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.
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.

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
This is a really difficult review to write and one I wish I didn't have to. Having lost our 20 year old son, brother, grandson, nephew and friend in unexpected and heartbreaking circumstances, we were completely unprepared and overwhelmed with the task of ensuring we could provide the very best send off he so rightly deserved.

John Delanoy stepped in and immediately understood what our requirements were. He worked closely with us and liased with other parties involved with the arrangements on our behalf. This helped reduce the burden we were facing at a time when empathy, patience and compassion were needed the most.

We cannot express our gratitude enough to John and his team. We have recently moved a family members pre-paid Golden Charter plan to Delanoy Funeral Services Ltd from another local provider. We have done this as we know that the care and level of compassion we received are unparalleled and unlikely to be matched.

To anyone who sadly finds themselves with planning a loved one's service, please don't hesitate to pick up the phone and give them a call. They are there for you and by your side from the very first second.

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.

We wish to thank John and Julie and the team for their kindness , patience and compassion shown to us as a family . They have advised us and supported us through out the most difficult time of our lives . We can’t thank you both enough for everything you have done and for giving our mam the best send off possible . From the family of the late Jennie Seed
My father passed away on the 10th of April he had a pre paid funeral plan which made my life so much easier at a terrible time. John and Julie were absolutely amazing through out the whole process and did not falter. They rang me text me and visited through out the whole process. Their attention to detail was amazing. When you are in such a vulnerable place you need someone to rely on and trust. John and Julie were those people, I felt comforted and safe under their care. My dad would have been so grateful for their support as am I.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my dads send off the best it could have been. Terri & family.
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 .
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.
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.
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.
John and Julie, you made the saddest day of our lives a very special day for Dad.

Your professionalism, attention to detail and kindness you gave to our family was exceptional, you went above and beyond from the beginning to the end. Always available to answer any questions or queries.

As a family we would like to say a big thank you for your compassion and everything you have done for us.

Delanoy Funeral service is First Class, they are personable, caring, and compassionate people.

Thank you!
John and Julie were very supportive at this sad time towards family and friends. Everything was taken care of very professional and great understanding of my wishes and needs.i would not hesitate to recommend delanoy funeral services thank you.
Just a massive thank you to Julie and John for a brilliant funeral from start to finish, everyone that attended commented on how beautiful the service was, and how beautiful the flower and vegetable box was that sat on top of the coffin once again thank you ❤️
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.

During your saddest times Julie and John are the people you need. Julie’s incredible and genuine warmth and John’s quiet, reassuring professionalism will navigate you through this awful time. Nothing is too much trouble and no question is too silly. Always contactable you’re made to feel like you’re their only priority. We felt so fortunate to have found them and to have been able to entrust our mum to them. Everything was so beautifully, tastefully and respectfully orchestrated. We could not have been more pleased with how the day went and we cannot thank them enough.
John and Julie and the whole team at Delanoy Funeral Services were absolutely excellent. They made a very difficult time as easy as possible with a first class, friendly, sympathetic and respectful service.
Julie's video tribute to Ron was perfect. A touching tribute to him, which he'd have loved. Julie was so innovative and imaginative in producing something with unexpected touches throughout.
This was the first experience I have personally had with Delanoy's but my mother has family ties with the company going back generations, so we knew they were a long-established and well respected company.
They were very responsive. Prompt and accomodating of everything we wanted. Both of us would highly recommend their service to anyone.
Thank you for everything you have done for us.
Arranging a funeral from the other side of the county was as daunting task. John and Julie handled everything from transportation to suggestions on the wake. We cannot thank them enough they turned our sadness into something special to remember. We feel both John and Julie went the extra mile to assist us and reduce the stress associated with such a sad event. Thank you.
