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.

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.

Thank you John, Julie and the rest of the team for such a beautiful funeral for my mam, such caring and compassionate people, everything was perfect.

A huge thank you to John and Julie at Delanoy for the kindness and support they gave our family. They guided us through every step with patience and care, always making time for our questions and easing our worries. The service was handled beautifully, with dignity and warmth, and we will always be grateful for everything they did to help us at such a difficult time.

Hi John and Julie,

Thank you so much for everything you did, in supporting me and the family, after Dad died.

As funeral directors, I know that it's your job but the advice, care and attention to detail, helped me enormously while coming to terms with my Dads death.

You treat my Dad as if he was a member of your own family and we couldn't have asked for anything more.

I'll be eternally grateful for the kindness and care you showed.

Bless you both.

From the moment we first spoke to them, the Julie and John were incredible. They showed so much love, care, and support through such a difficult time for our family. They made sure the funeral was completely individual to my brother, thinking of every little detail and guiding us with kindness from start to finish. Their communication was faultless, and nothing was ever too much trouble. We will always be grateful for the compassion and dedication they gave us, they truly went above and beyond.

Delanoys were so sensitive in organising our Mam’s funeral. Julie and John are easy to trust. At a time when it is hard to think clearly, they take away the worry and stress by stepping you through what needs to happen. They listened and responded with tasteful suggestions. They keep in touch and are very clear on what you do and don’t need to think about. In the end, we had the most wonderful day which celebrated Mam’s life with all the people who knew and loved her. At a sad time, you are very safe in their hands.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

To John and Julie on behalf of me and Brooke we would like to thank you for such a memory filled send off for Ronnie. It was a day we will remember full of memories, tears and laughter you helped us make the day just what we wanted and Julie was so thoughtful and caring throughout thank you both so much xx

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

Excellent all round, friendly caring and professional. Great communication and very helpful and understanding.
Recommend.

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!

I can't recommend Delanoy's enough. John and Julie were absolutely fantastic for me and my family when organising my dad's funeral. They went above and beyond and made us feel like they genuinely cared for us. They were always just a text away to answer the miriad of questions we had and to include extra things to the service. Adding little touches like all wearing hartlepool united ties and many others, that we loved so much. The tribute video that julie made was brilliant and made sure my dad got the send off he deserved. They made our worst day as lovely as possible and we as a family will never forget it. If you find yourself needing a funeral director, book them you won't be disappointed.
