My Family and I, would like to thank Delanoy Funeral Service for their unwavering support during a very difficult time on the passing of my Dad (Tony Curry). John and Julie are so easy to talk to and very compassionate, and dignified. They fully respected our families wishes and gave us the best advice to ease our loss. A special thank you to Julie for her lovely thoughtful words at the crematorium service. We would 100% recommend Delanoy Funeral Services.

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

The service provided was excellent and John was kind and considerate. Everything was so easy and the video was wonderful to watch and very professionally made. I cannot thank Delanoys enough for being there for my mother and I at the saddest time of our lives.

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

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.

We would all like to thank John, Julie and the team at delanoy funeral service, what an amazing send off you gave my nana , Brenda Golightly , under extreme weather conditions your professional service and video , made her day so special, thanks so much xx

I can’t thank my friend John enough for the service he carried out for my mum today. It was perfect in every way. Thanks again.

I’m so pleased I chose Delanoy Funeral Services to assist with arrangements after the loss of my dad. The whole process was made much more bearable due to John and Julie’s friendly, caring and sympathetic approach. They looked after myself and my family from day 1. Their knowledge and professionalism shines through and together they made my dad’s funeral a day I know he would have been proud of, with some extra personal touches. I wouldn’t hesitate in using their services again (although hopefully not for a long time!) and will definitely recommend. Thank you so much!

Thank you to John, Julie and staff of Delanoy Funeral Services for their continuous support over the last couple of weeks, after the death of our lovely precious Mam Mary Blackett. Thank you for going above and beyond for us at such a difficult time, nothing at all was too much trouble. Again, thank you for organising such a memorable and touching funeral service that will always be remembered by all of Mary’s Family 💞💗

I am very grateful to Julie and the team for taking such good care of my Nannan over the past few weeks. Her service was beautiful and nothing was too much for them to help with. Julie is such a lovely lady and the personal touches and her caring nature, really shon through throughout all of the conversations and times we met. She did everything she could to make sure my Nannan’s final journey, was special.
Thank you again! I am extremely grateful xx

Another fantastic service of John Delanoy and Julie from Delanoy Funeral Services myself and 3 other family members been up to durham crematorium for a direct cremation of a uncle although it was only a direct cremation it's what the deceased wanted no fuss.John brought him up in the hearse other company's where just coming in cars or vans walked him into the crematorium put flowers and photo on the coffin at no extra cost and let us even sit with our uncle for couple of mins and played music absolutely fantastic service from them.x

As a care home we can not thank John and Julie enough for their care, support, compassion and effort they put into giving our Tommy the best send off he deserved. They made time to ensure we were kept involved from the beginning and treated Tommy with dignity and respect from the very start until the very end. We are forever grateful to you and your staff who all played a part in today 💙

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.

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.

If you are looking for a funeral director that cares I most definitely wouldn’t look any further than Delanoy Funeral Services. From the minute they stepped through the door in the middle of the night I instantly knew we had made the right choice. The care and compassion that Julie and John showed to the whole family truly is amazing. We discussed what arrangements we would like, and they carried out every little detail we asked for, there was never a time when we were told no, we can’t do that. Due to the expertise of Julie and John our brother Mark got the most perfect service for us to all say our goodbyes. Julie was an absolute rock to our mam (Marilyn) when we couldn’t be there, and I can’t thank her enough for this (she is an absolute super star). So, to sum this up I would say they are the definitely the best in the business. So as a family we would like to say a massive thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you have done for us,

John, Marilyn, John, Michelle, David, Louise (Devine)

Absolute first class service start to finish from both John and Julie and the rest of the team! Nothing too much trouble, caring and considerate throughout an already painful process, up to date with every little detail and obviously work close with other great people! Our flowers/trees were perfect. Thank you so very much for everything.

During the circumstances we find ourselves in at the moment, I would like to thank John Delanoy for the way Delanoys looked after my Dad Micky Solan after he sadly passed away.
So very professional, thoughtful and kind was John, he made what was a heartbreaking time for our family that little bit more bearable.

We can’t thank Julie and John enough for the care and compassion they showed in organising my mother’s funeral. From our first meeting, they handled everything with sensitivity, professionalism, and genuine empathy. They guided us gently through each step, ensuring all the arrangements were exactly as my mother would have wanted. Their attention to detail, respectful communication, and support made an incredibly difficult time more bearable knowing my mother had the send off she deserved. Their communication was fantastic and consistent and nothing was a bother. Nothing felt rushed and it truly felt like they cared. The funeral included a personalised tribute video of my mother which our family will treasure forever. Thank you again x

Excellent Service, we had the video included, everyone was totally professional and respectful of the situation. John is a really accommodating nice guy who treated my sister with dignity and respect, the video was excellent quality and the guys taking the video were on the ball with the best angles without being to imposing within the service. Such a lovely family business and we were completely happy with the service and help that they provided.

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.

On behalf of my Gran, I would like to recommend Delanoy Funeral’s to anyone who needs their services. Thank you for your help at this difficult time.

I was recommended Delanoy funeral services through family after sadly losing my brother and honestly I could not recommend John and Julie enough. From the first call speaking to John nothing has been too much trouble. The support John and Julie have given throughout these tough last couple of weeks has been above and beyond and they have both ensured Jonny got the send off he deserved. His final farewell was captured so beautifully 💔 they have both been amazing the compassion they showed to all my family at the funeral and how they have made such an awful experience that bit more manageable I can't thank them both enough. Thank you again from all of Jonnys family we appreciate everything ❤
