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.

From the moment our mam passed away, John & Julie have been there to support and respect our mam’s last wishes every single day.

I highly recommend Delanoy funeral services every step off the way they did a fantastic job .. I could relax knowing my son was being looked after .. every detail was done to perfection and they made my son proud me proud and my whole family proud .. sometimes Thankyou doesn’t seem enough ♥️♥️♥️

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.

Excellent service from John and Julie, many thanks for making a difficult time pass more easily. Lots of care and attention paid to every detail at the funeral of John Shields. Highly recommended with much appreciation.

John and Julie from Delanoy Funeral Services are the most caring and courteous people you could meet. They made, what is a very upsetting time, easier with their empathy and professionalism. Nothing is too much for them and they made, what is a daunting day, memorable for all of the right reasons. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

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.

John and Julie's attention to detail was outstanding, The tribute video was wonderful. They are caring and compassionate and they gave a professional and polished service.
Thank you both very much

I want to say a big massive thank you to John and Julie and the team at Delaney funeral services. From start to finish they couldn’t do enough for us. Julie and john are professional, caring , compassion people, they went above and beyond for my family when we lost my wife Marie Robson on the 4th June 2022. They respected her wishes of a direct cremation and they where there every step through the process.

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.

All of the family would like to thank John & Julie for all of their guidance and support following the passing of my Mam, Ann Coils. They went above and beyond to provide a professional service that was tailored to our wishes. They were very compassionate and respectful. They made the process easier for the family and we truly appreciate that. The tribute video was beautiful and many commented on how lovely it was after the service. (Thank you, Julie. You are very talented). I would have no hesitation in recommending Delanoy Funeral Services. Thank you once again
Love from Gillian x

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 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.

John , Julie and their team are compassionate, understanding and professional , helping myself and my family through our difficult time
We would highly recommend Delano’s services

Speaking on behalf of all my family aswell as myself from the moment I called Julie to let her know that my mother had sadly passed away after a very short illness that shocked us all I knew I was dealing with a very caring and compassionate lady.
Our minds were definitely put at ease as I’ve never had to deal with anything like this before.
Both John & Julie kept us informed letting us know every step of the way from collecting my mother from the hospital and preparing her for us to visit her in the chapel of rest and She looked absolutely amazing.
The floral tributes we chose were absolutely beautiful and Julie gave us various options to choose from and excellent advice on what to go for and what not to go for.
On the day of the funeral the cars all turned up and we’re absolutely gleaming and john & Julie came over shook our hands and gave us some lovely calming words and loving smiles which made us feel comfortable knowing that we were celebrating the life of mam.
Anyone looking for a compassionate funeral director I can well assure Delanoy Funeral Services as we’ve all said go way beyond expectations xxx

It’s been a while since our dads funeral and I’ve got to say that his last farewell couldn’t of gone any better every detail was covered by John & Julie it was if they were saying farewell to one of there own family members John and Julie went above and beyond to make our dads farewell extra special for me and my family and all of his friends I and my family will be forever grateful for the compassion and professionalism that your company Delanoy funeral services showed from start to finish his last day couldn’t of gone any better and I thank you from the bottom of my heart we as a family will certainly be using you again top service top people top company nothing was to much bother for them thank you John and Julie

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.
