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

We couldn’t have asked for better care during such a difficult time. John & julie provided an amazing service from start to finish, handling everything with genuine compassion, professionalism, and attention to detail.
They treated my mother with the utmost dignity and respect, and supported our family every step of the way. Nothing felt rushed or overlooked, and their kindness made a real difference to us.
Thank you for making a very hard time a little easier. We are truly grateful.

Delanoys were so sensitive in organising our Mam’s funeral. Julie and John are easy to trust. At a time when it is hard to think clearly, they take away the worry and stress by stepping you through what needs to happen. They listened and responded with tasteful suggestions. They keep in touch and are very clear on what you do and don’t need to think about. In the end, we had the most wonderful day which celebrated Mam’s life with all the people who knew and loved her. At a sad time, you are very safe in their hands.

Elaine Gillespie

John and Julie showed us great respect, professionalism and compassion at such a difficult time. They were in constant contact with the family to keep us updated with everything that was happening and went above and beyond their roles to support the family. While we were faced with delays beyond their control we were reassured that they were taking care of mam and that she was safe in their care which was a great comfort to us all.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services to anyone.

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

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.

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.

John and Julie helped my family and I through the toughest time of our lives. From day 1 they were kind, caring, compassionate although very professional. We unexpectedly and very sadly lost my brother in May and the time he spent in the hands of Delanoy’s I know he was treated with respect and love, John went above and beyond for us as a family when visiting my brother with a little touch of spraying his aftershave in the viewing area which brought great comfort to me and my family. We cannot repay John and Julie for the amazing service provided throughout and the constant communication at any time of day which is extremely helpful for a grieving family, nothing is a bother to them. I would wholeheartedly recommend Delanoy Funeral services. Thank you again x

Maria Neale

On behalf of Lawrence Mc Donald's family I would like to express our heartfelt thanks to John and Julie .At a distressing time they have supported the family with great respect and professionalism. Dad's requiem mass was beautiful with touches suggested by John and Julie. They also conducted my Mams funeral (Doris) a year ago with the same attention. Excellent communication is a trademark of their service and ongoing support. Thank you so much for everything you have done for the family.

Hi John and Julie,

Thank you so much for everything you did, in supporting me and the family, after Dad died.

As funeral directors, I know that it's your job but the advice, care and attention to detail, helped me enormously while coming to terms with my Dads death.

You treat my Dad as if he was a member of your own family and we couldn't have asked for anything more.

I'll be eternally grateful for the kindness and care you showed.

Bless you both.

Coby-Lee Baker

I would definitely like to recommend Delanoy Funeral Services as everything went so smoothly start to end. John and Julie were very kind, respectful and very caring people when it comes to doing this. Yours definitely helped towards giving my nana (Alison) a great send off. They even went the extra mile having red and white ties for my nana who was a Sunderland fan. So I would 100% recommend Delanoy Funeral Services! Huge thanks John and Julie

Jade Garside

As a family we truly can’t thank John & Julie enough for the service they have provided for us. From the day my dad passed right up until his send off they’ve treated both ourselves and my dad with the utmost respect. Their professionalism is second to none. They’ve shown great empathy and consideration throughout the most difficult time of our lives and for that we will forever be grateful. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them and they’ve guided us every step of the way, the send off they gave my dad would have been exactly what he wanted which we have found great comfort in whilst grieving such a huge loss. Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts!

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.

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.

My husband, Bill, said he wanted a no fuss, simple funeral and that is what Delanoy arranged for us. My daughter and I have nothing but praise for the professionalism, caring and compassion shown to us by Julie and John. They were like friends we had known for a long time and nothing was a trouble. The funeral was a simple but beautiful closure to his life. My daughter and I can only compliment and recommend them, and their staff, for their support and organisation at such a sad time.

One of our staff members, Dave, was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer after a routine PSA test. Thankfully, it was caught early and is treatable.

This September, Dave is taking on the Great North Run 13.1 miles from Newcastle to South Shields to raise money for Prostate Cancer UK.

Prostate cancer affects 1 in 8 men in the UK. Anyone wishing to support Dave, please donate using the QR Code or the link below every donation, big or small, helps fund vital research, support, and awareness.

Dave also wants to encourage men to speak to their GP about a PSA test. Early detection can make all the difference.
