We'd like to thank Julie and John, for the care and compassion they showed us, following the death of my mother. The day of the funeral was faultlessly arranged and exactly what we wanted. Consequently, we would definitely recommend Delanoy Funeral Services.

On behalf of Lauren, myself and all of the family, I would like to thank John and Julie for their professionalism, care, understanding and support. They made a traumatic, heartbreaking and painful experience more bearable with their thoughtfulness and ensured that Alan had the farewell he deserved.
We are truly grateful for all of their support and guidance during his most difficult time in our lives

My mam sadly passed away 20/06/24, Delanoy were amazing throughout the whole process, John and Julie went above and beyond to give our mam the send off she deserved. Couldnt recommend delanoy enough, the support given by both has been amazing, from support with funeral planning to emotional support. Delanoy helped with those little details of the funeral that at the time we don’t think of but make all the difference and create memories we will cherish. I would also like to thank Julie personally for her support and understanding, Thankyou for reminding me the strength I have and helping me through my most difficult time.

Our family would like to thank Delanoy Funeral Services for the care they gave organising my Gran's Funeral, Mary Smith. Throughout the whole process, John and Julie were kind and considerate and were readily available to talk through arrangements and give advice. Nothing troubled them. They responded positively to all our family requests and their sensitive approach and attention to detail was greatly appreciated. On the day of the funeral, they and their team were highly supportive. Their dignity, expertise and professionalism shone through. In the midst of our bereavement and sadness they were definitely the right people to have alongside. We highly recommend them and once again say thank you to John, Julie and their team for their considerate, empathetic and supportive approach which culminated in a beautiful farewell for my Gran

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you did to ensure Alan was treated with dignity, respect and love. We will be forever grateful. All our love, Birchwood Court x x

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.

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.

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!

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.

I cannot speak highly enough of the care and support we received from Delanoy Funeral Services following the death of my mum.
From the very beginning, they were exceptional in every way. Their communication was brilliant, and at a time when everything can feel completely overwhelming, they calmly and compassionately guided us through the entire process. Everything was clearly explained, including the different options available for the coffin, flowers, burial plot and refreshments afterwards. Nothing ever felt rushed or impersonal, and we always felt that we could ask questions or seek advice.
What touched me most, however, was the genuine care, dignity and respect with which they treated my mum. They helped me to visit her in the Chapel of Rest and made what was an incredibly difficult and emotional experience as gentle as it possibly could be. They also arranged for me to have some clippings of Mum’s hair as a keepsake—something very small perhaps, but something that means an enormous amount to me and that I will treasure for the rest of my life.
The care taken with Mum’s appearance was also incredibly moving. Her hair and make-up had been done beautifully and sensitively, and she looked peaceful and cared for. Seeing her treated with such tenderness, dignity and respect brought me a great deal of comfort.
Throughout the whole process, and on the day of Mum’s funeral itself on 15th September, we were treated with nothing but kindness, empathy, professionalism and genuine compassion. At what has undoubtedly been the most difficult period of my life, knowing that my mum was being looked after by people who genuinely cared made an enormous difference.
There are some professions where simply doing the job well is not enough; it is the humanity, compassion and kindness shown alongside it that people remember. I will always remember the way Mum and our family were treated.
I am deeply grateful for everything they did for us and would recommend them without hesitation to any family needing someone they can trust to care for their loved one with dignity, respect and genuine compassion.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for taking such wonderful care of my mum.

John and Julie provided an excellent service and gave Lynn the funeral that she wanted. Thanks for everything and for making the day more bearable! x

Delenoy Funeral Service go above and beyond for families at the worst time. In the space of 8 months they have done my dads and my mums funeral. I cannot fault the service they provide, the little details they put in place to make it as special as possible and the friendliness of John and Julie.

John and Julie was recommended by a neighbour after we sadly lost our baby boy who was born sleeping. We didn't have a clue what to do or what we wanted but John and Julie helped and supported us to make decisions. They really went above and beyond their role to ensure we was happy with our choices and we can not thank them enough for their services.

John & Julie were very attentive & professional. They guided and supported us through the worst day of our lives in a caring & comforting manner. Nothing was too much trouble for them, always there when we needed to ask questions with a prompt response.
With heartfelt thanks,
The family of the late Kathleen Duffy,
Julie, Stuart and Lauren

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.

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.

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 would like to give a big thank you to Julie and Jhon for carrying out our Scott's wishes to the letter for his direct cremation the experience was flawless from start to finish and I would also like to thank Norman for his special touch can wholeheartedly recommend them

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.

Losing someone so close to your heart is the hardest moments to deal with. I can’t thank Delanoy Funeral Services enough. Julie and John have been our strength to help make our difficult time as a family nothing but ease. The professionalism, empathy and compassion they have shown, our family will never forget and most likely will never be able to repay our thanks.

With such an unexpected experience, Julie and John guided us through the process, step by step. Making sure that everything was perfect.

From all of our family, thank you for everything you’ve done and for helping us say our last goodbyes in such a memorable way which we will never forget.

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

We would just like to thank Julie & John for the upmost respect, invaluable help and most professional service they offered our family.
But most of all, for being there from the day we lost our beloved dad, grandad & great grandad, right up until yesterday's final goodbye; because nothing was ever too much trouble and they helped us to achieve the send off he deserved.

From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for everything and we couldn't recommend yous highly enough! xx
