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.

I can’t thank you enough for everything you did for my family and my son such lovely people thank you

Julie and John were fantastic in the way they handled the passing of my Mam, Ann Hughes. First class professional support from beginning to the end. Nothing was too much trouble and made one of the most difficult times, for us, so much easier. We would recommend these folks to anyone. 5 star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

On behalf of the Lord family we would like to express our thanks to John & Julie for their compassionate & professional service provided for George you both help us through a difficult time & the arrangements you made were perfect for Him & for Us.

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.

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

Absolute first class service start to finish from both John and Julie and the rest of the team! Nothing too much trouble, caring and considerate throughout an already painful process, up to date with every little detail and obviously work close with other great people! Our flowers/trees were perfect. Thank you so very much for everything.

Delanoy Funeral Services were wonderful; John & Julie offered a professional but very personal touch to their service & made a very sad occasion a celebration of the lovely person we lost. They made us feel comfortable to make the right decisions for us whilst giving us options when asked. I was recommended Delanoy Funeral Services by different friends who recently also sadly used them & we were definitely not disappointed, so just thank you very much!

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!

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 from the bottom of our hearts for everything you have done for us,

John, Marilyn, John, Michelle, David, Louise (Devine)

I can honestly say from the moment my brother died Julie and John were so amazing helping us to give. Him the best send off from the singer which I have to say was amazing and made it more special the tribute that Julie put together for my brother was outstanding showed all his life in an amazing way he had the best send off and would of been so proud how everything was done I could not thank Julie and John enough for making the day so beautiful ❤️

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.

3 years ago Delanoys provided their service for my mothers funeral and back then their service was excellent, both John and Julie provided a beautiful send off for her.
On the 14th November this year we said our goodbyes to my father and John and Julie were there to give a personal send off.
From the moment we set off it was exactly as I could imagine my father would have wanted, the little touches that they made were so lovely and thoughtful.
Myself and my family would like to thank John and Julie but also to all the staff who were very courteous, friendly and professional.
It was a difficult day but went very smoothly thanks to Delanoys funeral services.
For that myself and my family are very grateful.

A heartfelt thank you to Delanoy Funeral Directors, especially John and Julie, for their kindness, compassion and professionalism following the passing of Elsie Harrison.

They supported our family throughout a very difficult time and ensured Elsie was treated with the utmost dignity and respect. We are incredibly grateful for everything they did.

Thank you, John and Julie, from the bottom of our hearts.

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

We're do I start, suddenly we lost our precious dad on 30/07/2024, Delony were absolutely amazing from start to finish, they gave our dad the most perfect send off,they were very caring and supportive at this devastating time. I would like to thank Julie, John and the team for there compassion and professionalism, also a massive thank you for showing our dad's life at the church which made everyone cry and laugh.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
You did my dad proud.

I have asked Delanoy’s on three occasions to arrange the funerals of my loved ones. They are very professional but also down to earth and very caring. Even Hospice staff have said they had never dealt with funeral services as caring as Delanoy’s. I would highly recommend them.

John and Julie helped my family and I through the toughest time of our lives. From day 1 they were kind, caring, compassionate although very professional. We unexpectedly and very sadly lost my brother in May and the time he spent in the hands of Delanoy’s I know he was treated with respect and love, John went above and beyond for us as a family when visiting my brother with a little touch of spraying his aftershave in the viewing area which brought great comfort to me and my family. We cannot repay John and Julie for the amazing service provided throughout and the constant communication at any time of day which is extremely helpful for a grieving family, nothing is a bother to them. I would wholeheartedly recommend Delanoy Funeral services. Thank you again x

They took care of John so well I had no worries at all they did everything for our family so caring thank you so much I have and still will recommend them to people Margaret x

First class service from start to finish. Would highly recommend John.

The service from the team at Delanoy Funeral Services was superb from the initial contact right up to the actual service. The courtesy and dignity displayed throughout was second to none. They went above and beyond to create a celebration of my dad's life, encapsulating every aspect of it in a beautiful way, including a beautiful video tribute, which was well met by everyone who attended. They also looked after us ensuring we didn't have to do anything, as it was all looked after for us, allowing us to be part of the service and allowing us to grieve, in our own way, and say goodbye.
Thanks Delanoy, will definitely know where to go in the future.

Very highly recommended
Julie spoke to my girls a couple of days ago to see if they were okay and they made it very special by including a video for memories they made the girls included in the video showing there necklaces of their mam what a lovely touch they are the best and always looked out for us 5 star service!
