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.

I would like to thank John and Julie for the amazing service they provided for our baby, Jude. Everything was perfect and they went above and beyond to make it even more special than we expected . They both showed care, compassion and empathy, they are both genuinely lovely people. They are both Earth angels and we will be forever grateful for everything they did for us at the hardest time of our lives.

when you loose a loved one it’s difficult to know which direction to turn, however i knew that John and Julie would give us the best care of my Mam. Julie is an absolute tower of strength and my Mam looked beautiful and at peace with Julie’s exceptional personal touch.
Even though my Dad and I were planning for one of the hardest days of our lives John and Julie made us smile with shared memories of our and their family.
Delanoy Funeral Services are by far outstanding in their field, heartfelt thanks and gratitude for all of their care and attention to detail.

I am very grateful to Julie and the team for taking such good care of my Nannan over the past few weeks. Her service was beautiful and nothing was too much for them to help with. Julie is such a lovely lady and the personal touches and her caring nature, really shon through throughout all of the conversations and times we met. She did everything she could to make sure my Nannan’s final journey, was special.
Thank you again! I am extremely grateful xx

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.

Janet Jones

I used Delanoys 9 years ago for my Dad, and just recently for my Mam.
I can't praise highly enough, they lead you through the process by hand, there's no need to worry about anything. I felt both times my loved ones were in good care which is a massive comfort.

From the moment I informed John and Julie of Emma’s death they came into our lives and showed us how wonderful caring and compassionate they were. Nothing was too much trouble no question went unanswered no matter what time of the day and night and no matter where they were even when I interrupted their free time. The Ideas and details they put forward to us were to make this a celebration of her life and were carried out to the letter. This made it the most perfect send off anyone could ask for. The work that Julie put into the video and the extra touches will stay with us forever and no request was to big or small. John was the strong calm influence who smiled at me through my anxious outbursts and sometimes requests which were not sensible or practical. The arms of both of these people encircled our family the whole time and they gave us strength to face each day and never to feel alone. All of this we never envisaged and there are no words or deeds than can ever really be enough thanks.

On behalf of the family of the late Margaret Gillespie I would like to thank John, Julie and all their staff for the support they gave to us after the passing of our Aunty. Aunty Margaret died in North Tees Hospital and she was buried in Kilcar, Co. Donegal, Fire.
John and Julie organised and advised us on the funeral arrangements here with thoughtfulness and compassion.
We were kept informed of Aunty Margaret's repatriation throughout on her journey back to Ireland. For all of this we are truly grateful.
Thank you John and Julie.

Jane

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.

Melanie Potts

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.

John and Julie was recommended by a neighbour after we sadly lost our baby boy who was born sleeping. We didn't have a clue what to do or what we wanted but John and Julie helped and supported us to make decisions. They really went above and beyond their role to ensure we was happy with our choices and we can not thank them enough for their services.

Excellent Service, we had the video included, everyone was totally professional and respectful of the situation. John is a really accommodating nice guy who treated my sister with dignity and respect, the video was excellent quality and the guys taking the video were on the ball with the best angles without being to imposing within the service. Such a lovely family business and we were completely happy with the service and help that they provided.

Very helpful understanding and considerate, nothing is any trouble, they offer friendly advice for every pocket and did all they could to help me when I needed them. I would recommend them to everyone. First class service. Thank you

Paul Welch

Delanoy funeral services were professional from the outset. Both John and Julie attended our family home on a Sunday to take my deceased mother into their care.

You can feel that they truly care and aim to make connections at what is a very difficult time of grief and loss.

Everything could be personalised and upmost care and attention was given to ensure the service and burial went as planned in quite a short timescale.

We will always be grateful for the humanity and care shown at this very difficult time for our family. I cannot hesitate than to recommend them to you.

My nana Amanda Robinson died at the age of 55.
She’s all I’ve ever known and was a second mum to me, John and Julie did absolutely amazing and she had such an amazing day because of them.

They cared for her and us as a family and we wouldn’t have gotten through it without their support. They both are amazing at what they do and should be so proud of the support they have behind them

Well done x

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 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.
