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.

My family & I can't thank John & Julie enough for their support & guidance at such a devastating time. Their professionalism, along with their caring & respectful approach was exactly what our family needed in dealing with the loss of my father. Thank you both for helping us through the process, words can not express how grateful we are.
My father recently died and Delanoys were our first choice for acting as our funeral partners. I use funeral partners rather than funeral directors because John and Julie involved the family at every step of the funeral planning. No detail was too small for them to step in and take care of, to provide the smoothest and most unobtrusive service we could possibly expect.

Delanoys don't take centre stage in the funeral, the family do; Delanoys make sure that everything is taken care of so that the family have nothing to worry about. Nothing is left to chance and the level of planning ensures the funeral is as smooth as possible, and their local knowledge and local contacts eases the pressure at an incredibly stressful time.
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.

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!
From the moment we engaged Delanoy Funeral Services the attention given to us as a family was not only professional but personal. Throughout the entire process John and Julie supported us beyond what we could have ever expected. There was no question too big or too small. Every detail was impeccable from the passing of Fred to laying him to rest. The personal touches given by John and Julie put us all at ease - they went above and beyond especially on the day of the funeral, making sure every element was perfect.
The effort in the background ensured that we had nothing to worry about as we could trust it was all being dealt with which took a lot of the worry away in what was a very difficult time for us as a family. The flowers were all just perfect, the order of service exactly as we requested and on the day of the funeral we could not have asked for anything more.
From the bottom of our hearts we will be forever grateful of the amazing support and service.
Dear John and Julie
We are deeply grateful for your kindness, understanding and support during this very difficult time. Your compassion and professionalism and the way that you made such a difficult time easier for us is without measure. Your compassion during our initial consultation was a great comfort to us and your thoughtful advice and unwavering guidance helped the family to navigate a very challenging period in our lives. You arranged mams funeral , creating a very meaningful and personal journey that truly honoured our wonderful mam , and for that we say thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
I can’t even put into words how thankful we are of John and Julie, they went above and beyond to take care of uncle Owen and also the care and compassion they showed towards the family during this difficult time was something else, honestly we as a family can’t thank you enough for everything during in this sad time x
My son sadly passed away 22 June this year after a long fight with cancer aged 2 years it was the most devastating time we have had to go through. I cannot thank Julie and john enough went above and beyond to help us through this difficult time they even got us a personalised coffin of his favourite character I cannot recommend them enough

Thank you very much to John and Julie at Delanoys Funeral service for making the final farewell for my son Gareth Richards perfect.
Your professionalism , compassion and genuine caring approach throughout has made what is the worst time of our lives a bit more bearable. A truly comforting and bespoke farewell for my wonderful son.
Thankyou also to Sharon the celebrant att the crematorium who again through her professionalism delivered words showing a snapshot of Gareths short life. We would also like to thank everyone who travelled from far and wide to say their goodbyes to a beautifully talented lad taken too soon and would whole heartedly recommend delanoy funeral service to everyone. Thank you doesnt seem enough.

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
Without hesitation, we recommend this highly professional and dignified Funeral Service. John and Julie showed care, kindness and compassion to our family throughout our very sad bereavement. They worked with true dedication and commitment to give Dad the beautiful farewell he so deserved. We are very grateful for the supportive and personal approach they showed us. Thank you.
recommends
Delanoy funeral services were professional from the outset. Both John and Julie attended our family home on a Sunday to take my deceased mother into their care.

You can feel that they truly care and aim to make connections at what is a very difficult time of grief and loss.

Everything could be personalised and upmost care and attention was given to ensure the service and burial went as planned in quite a short timescale.

We will always be grateful for the humanity and care shown at this very difficult time for our family. I cannot hesitate than to recommend them to you.

First class service . John goes above and beyond with his care ,support a d sympathetic approach , nothing is to much trouble. I will never forget the kindness he showed us during our bereavement , he sorted everything, from collecting our loved one to organising the funeral, flowers , service , food taking all the stress from the Family ,we didnt have to think about anything. Then beyond that arranging the burial of my Brothers ashes and arranging for his plaque to be made . John spoke to us every day not only to check on arrangements but to check in on how we were . His prices are also very competitive but that does not compromise on the service you receive. If I ever have any other funerals to arrange I would not go anywhere else . 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’ve been meaning to leave this review for a long time but like everything life got in the way. Even though it was over a year ago now we have not forgotten how kindly we were treated. We cannot thank John and Delanoys enough for the compassion, care and guidance he gave us as a family when my Dad suddenly passed away. Especially as it happened while on holiday in Blackpool. With the added worry of getting his body home and the red tape involved, John guided us through the process. He was on hand to answer questions and it was the personal touches that made his service exceptional. He went above and beyond.
Thank you again from The Glendenning family
I can't thank John and Julie enough. They listened to my wants and made everything possible. They provided an excellent service and everything was beautiful on the day. Thank you.

From the moment our lovely mum, Clara Millington, passed away we were looked after by the very compassionate, professional & caring Julie & John from Delanoy Funeral Services. Julie was always available for any help or advice we needed and offered a caring shoulder to cry on.

The Tribute Video was wonderful and many family & friends who attended the funeral said they had never seen anything like it before and what a lovely touch it was.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Julie, John & their very professional, caring team for anyone’s funeral needs.

From the moment our mam passed away, John & Julie have been there to support and respect our mam’s last wishes every single day. The care and compassion shown has been exceptional to ourselves and our family. Delanoy thrived to ensure our mams final farewell was personalised and fulfilled to the fine details.
The video that was created provided precious and lasting memories for ourselves, grandchildren and great children.
We would highly recommend Delanoy Funeral Services.

I had no hesitation in contacting Delanoy funeral services after the previous experience we had with the passing of my mother.

I lost my soul partner Ian Calvert , the support and care through the most difficult of times helped me through. I could not recommend this service high enough to anyone.

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.

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.

This morning, we said goodbye to Mark Jepson “Jeppa” a much loved and dedicated Sunderland supporter.

Mark sadly passed away just two months after losing his mother, and we felt it was only right to give him a memorable send-off that was personal to him and reflected the love so many had for him.

A massive thank you to Sunderland AFC and the Heaven Branch for your support today. It meant so much and helped make his farewell truly special.

I am so sorry to hear this. Marilyn and I would occasionally text each other. She would keep me informed of the happenings in England. She always thought of other folks. Her last message to me ended with, "Take care pet." Just typical of her character. I am so very sad. RIP Marilyn you are an Easington Icon.

RIP Marilyn sincere condolences to Jimmy,family and friends. Great girl and did so much for families during the 84/85 miners strike.

Such sad news, RIP Marilyn, condolences to Jimmy and the family. 💔 xxx
