John and Julie (Delanoy Funeral Services) were excellent when helping the family after our Mam , Edith Knapper , passed away - they were so professional ensuring everything was in place, nothing was too much , and provided support at all times during a very difficult time - thank you both for all you did for us x

Joan Collard

John and Julie and their team were exceptional from first contact through to the final funeral day. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone. The service they provided was professional and efficient and always personal and caring. Their care and compassion was a great support to us.They guided us step by step through a stressful experience, nothing was too much trouble and they helped us to carry out the last wishes of a much loved mother. They ensured that everything ran smoothly and every detail was taken care of. Their sensitive and respectful approach gave us absolute confidence to entrust them with the care of our loved one. Our visit to the Chapel of Rest was hugely comforting to the family and enabled us to say our last goodbyes in a tranquil and dignified setting. Thank you.

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.

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.

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.

We really cannot thank John and Julie enough for everything you have done. From the moment we sat down to discuss how we would like to say goodbye to our mam, to the amazing way we were able to do this on the day.
You remembered every single detail and then done, loved the little feather touch at the end of the ceremony.
Hope not to need the use of your amazing services for some time but cannot recommend and praise you both enough for what you do with such amazing grace and kindness.
Thank you from all our family xx

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.

What John and Julie have done for our family words can't describe. When my Dad was ill with Cancer both John and Julie said they'd look after him and they did just that. Both of them have eased the pain and Dad got exactly what he wished for.

We can't thank you both enough, Dad will be looking down proud ❤

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.

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.

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.

The service from John and Julie is so personalised and second to none.

On behalf of the family of the late Kevin Hall.
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.

R. I. P. Marilyn a lovely lady condolences to the family xx
