John, Julie and the whole team did an amazing job for my husbands funeral. From start to finish they handled everything. I would highly recommend them. Thank you for all your support and making the funeral go so smoothly. Their service is excellent
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 for everything you have done for us,
John, Marilyn, John, Michelle, David, Louise (Devine)
Professional from the beginning of the planning process to the fulfillment of the funeral itself.

My family are very pleased we made the right choice in choosing this Company for our Mothers funeral.

She had a brilliant send-off and the accompanying videos and audio recordings that Julie did for us were the highlight of the day.

I would recommend this Company to anyone planning a funeral.
I would not hesitate to recommend John and Julie from Delanoy Funeral Services. From start to finish their professionalism and care is second to none. Nothing is too much bother to them and they work over and above to ensure everything runs smoothly. I found the respect they showed to my mum comforting.
Sent from the Smith family,

Delanoy funeral services are outstanding! They show great empathy and understanding. John guided us every step of the way. The attention to detail and thinking ahead to help the family at a sad time is amazing. Thank you to John, Julie and the team. A well deserved five star review.
A very local and personable service at emotional time. Different options were shared which helped fill me with assurance. The actual time at the crematorium was as we discussed and the service was undertaken with passion and dignity.
“A day to remember”

Julie and John provided us with a very professional service at a very difficult time for the family.
The service from start to finish was first class, the tribute to Dads life was exceptional.
We will remember this day always on a day you’d probably want to put somewhere in the back of your mind.
A truly first class company providing a truly excellent caring service. I wouldn’t go past Delanoy, I would recommend them highly.
We’ll done Julie, John & the team.

Thank you Julie & John for everything you did to make my mams final journey such a flawless & beautiful experience. Great service all round.
Fantastic service from John and Julie just as we asked for nothing too much trouble.
amazing service from John and Julie, they both made the funeral as personal as possible for my grandad, would recommend to anyone, going above and beyond for every single funeral.
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.
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.
John and Julie (Delanoy Funeral Services) were excellent when helping the family after our Mam , Edith Knapper , passed away - they were so professional ensuring everything was in place, nothing was too much , and provided support at all times during a very difficult time - thank you both for all you did for us x
Delanoy Funeral Service provided an absolute fantastic tribute to the life of my mam. I could not have asked for a better service John and Julie are such wonderful people and nothing is too much trouble. They organised everything for me from the flowers to the service books and they were outstanding! I have used this company for three of my family members now and I would never use anyone else. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
John and Julie showed us great respect, professionalism and compassion at such a difficult time. They were in constant contact with the family to keep us updated with everything that was happening and went above and beyond their roles to support the family. While we were faced with delays beyond their control we were reassured that they were taking care of mam and that she was safe in their care which was a great comfort to us all.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services to anyone.
On behalf of the family of Joyce Smith.I cannot speak highly enough of the personal and professional way in which Mam's funeral arrangements were handled. The service was truly memorable and was much appreciated by all family and friends. Thank you John, Julie and all your staff.
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.

I could not rate Delanoy Funeral Services highly enough. The service they provided my family in preparation for my Dad's funeral was exemplary. Julie and John went above and beyond to make our sad occasion more bearable. I would recommend them to everyone.

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 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.

We appreciated Emma the celebrant for how beautifully the service was conducted, the sensitivity of the staff, the thoughtful way you handled the arrangements, It was clear how much care you put into honoring my mam, Phoebe Lloyd life, and we received many comments from family and friends about how perfect the service was
Thank you so much, John and Julie.

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.

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.

A beautiful final farewell for former miner Martin Jones today in Easington.

Martin loved the Durham Big Meeting, the brass bands, and everything the mining community stood for. It was a real honour to have the Miners’ Banner out for him today.

Thank you to Alan Cummings for arranging for the banner to be there, and to the brass band players who came along to support us and Martin’s family. Your presence meant so much.
