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 .
Outstanding service when you need it most. Delanoy were both empathetic and accommodating, taking all the hassle out of the arrangements in what is a very difficult time. I can't recommend Delanoy Funeral Services enough. John, Julie and their team are fantastic.
Absolutely fantastic service, Julie and John went above and beyond with our Sons funeral, they really do care and are so considerate to your every wish at such a heartbreaking time in our lives, we would definitely recommend Delanoy’s funeral services. Peter and Tracey
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.
Thank you, John, Julie and all the Delanoy’s team, for guiding our family through a difficult time. Your professional approach, patience and knowledge allowed dad to have the funeral he and mam had planned. Using a local funeral director who has supported our family for generations made it so personal for us all and you fully understood what we wanted to achieve. Dad’s funeral was a memorable and emotional day thanks to your attention to detail and TLC. We can’t thank you enough!
I would heartily recommend Delanoy Funeral Services. They have dealt with both my parents' funerals in the last two months, and have handled both with immense compassion and care. Both John and Julie managed the process with me with the utmost respect. The services were flawless, the flowers amazing and the catering services faultless. My thanks to you both.
I can’t find enough words to convey how appreciative we are for the arrangements Delanoy have made for Jim’s passing and funeral. They managed to turn what could have been a sad, mournful day, into a massive celebration of his life. There WERE tears, but the entire day was filled with love and happy memories, all carried out with exceptional organisation.
Losing a partner is very difficult and Jim’s passing WAS expected, and dreaded, but from walking into Delanoy’s office, on that Wednesday, talking to John and Julie, our heartache eased. We were given advice on how to deal with a death, who we needed to notify, etc.
Little did we know that we would be needing John and Julie again - at midnight that very same day. Again, they were there, guiding, listening, waiting, giving comfort to a grieving family. Every step of the process we were kept informed as to what to do, what to expect.
We can’t thank the Delanoy staff enough for the help given on that day and the following three weeks, culminating into a carefully planned, wonderful send off for Jim. You and your staff are to be commended. Everyone at the funeral service said what a joyous occasion you had arranged.
John, Julie, all staff - thankyou for all you did for us - before, during and after.
Thankyou from the Goldsworthy family.
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.

Thank you so much Norman x
John and Julie could not have been nicer , caring or more professional when they helped us with my mums funeral - nothing was too much trouble for them - all we had to do was text or call them and they went above and beyond to help us - they certainly made what was a very emotional and upsetting time for my family, so much easier to deal with and I can’t thank them enough
John and Julie provided an excellent service for the family of Doreen Middleton when she passed away on 31st August.
Nothing was a problem and carried out in a professional, caring and compassionate manner.
Thankyou John Julie and your team.
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.
My mother died late March and Delanoy did a beautiful and dignified funeral I would recommend them as being the best in the area

Following the death of our mam, Betty Johnson, John and Julie were there to help us at every stage. They provided a very caring, compassionate and professional service for all our family, which helped us during our most difficult times. We can't thank them enough for their kind help and would not hesitate to recommend their services.
A first class company.
We are also so pleased we had our mams funeral videoed rather than streamed as the quality is fantastic and will be kept forever, absolutely beautiful.
Thank you to John and Julie and all your team.
Love from Kathleen Hollingworth, Jackie Johnson and Barbara Johnson.
Today we said farewell to our dad. Julie and John navigated us through the whole process and the day itself so professionally and with such empathy. We cannot thank them enough and we highly recommend Delanoy Funeral Services. X

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 am writing to express our deepest gratitude for the exceptional care and support John and Julie provided for my mam's, Phoebe Lloyd funeral. From our first meeting to the service itself, your compassion, patience, and professionalism were a tremendous comfort to us.
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.

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.
