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.

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.

An excellent service from John and Julie whilst arranging my father in laws funeral. Their professionalism, compassion and thoughtfulness was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble. Can wholeheartedly recommend them.

I am writing to express our deepest gratitude for the exceptional care and support John and Julie provided for my mam's, Phoebe Lloyd funeral. From our first meeting to the service itself, your compassion, patience, and professionalism were a tremendous comfort to us.
We appreciated Emma the celebrant for how beautifully the service was conducted, the sensitivity of the staff, the thoughtful way you handled the arrangements, It was clear how much care you put into honoring my mam, Phoebe Lloyd life, and we received many comments from family and friends about how perfect the service was
Thank you so much, John and Julie.

We can't thank John and Julie enough for turning a very hard day into a much easier one. Their professionalism and respectfulness went above and beyond, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much.

Absolutely fantastic service, Julie and John went above and beyond with our Sons funeral, they really do care and are so considerate to your every wish at such a heartbreaking time in our lives, we would definitely recommend Delanoy’s funeral services. Peter and Tracey

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.

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!

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.

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.

Outstanding service when you need it most. Delanoy were both empathetic and accommodating, taking all the hassle out of the arrangements in what is a very difficult time. I can't recommend Delanoy Funeral Services enough. John, Julie and their team are fantastic.

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

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.

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.

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.

Would like to say a heartfelt thank you to John and Julie and team. At a difficult time you arranged every detail of my dad’s funeral perfectly, showing kindness and helping me through every step of the way.
Flowers were absolutely amazing, and the compassion and support you both showed me on the day of my dad’s funeral was outstanding.
No amount of words can express my gratitude for the care you showed me throughout. Every wish was carried out to a very high standard and I really couldn’t have asked for more.
Highly recommend John & Julie Delanoy Funeral Services

THANK YOU
Deborah
