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.
John, Julie and the whole team did an amazing job for my husbands funeral. From start to finish they handled everything. I would highly recommend them. Thank you for all your support and making the funeral go so smoothly. Their service is excellent
Julie and John helped immensely with my dad’s funeral earlier this year. They were professional, patient, highly responsive, kind and generous with their time. I didn’t know what to expect or how to navigate a death in the family, but they made everything clear and arranged things with a minimum of fuss. I was glad to have this team by my side at a difficult time. Recommend.
Delanoys funeral place are amazing John and Julie’s were just brilliant made everything so easy absolutely brilliant people friendly warm helped me any way they could ❤️❤️❤️
Would like to say we received an excellent service from beginning to end. John and Julie took care of everything and were very professional and caring, and nothing was too much trouble. They went extra lengths to make my father's granddaughter feel a huge part of his final farewell and we couldn't recommend them highly enough. Thank you.
Delanoy's were absolutely exceptional throughout they gave my wife the most beautiful send off with attention to every last detail they were very supportive and caring throughout the whole process and nothing was too much for them i would like to thank John & Julie for the compassion & professionalism they showed at this devastating time also a massive thank you for the beautiful tribute video shown in church which filled the church with tears but also laughter it really was the most beautiful day for my beautiful wife!

On behalf of the family of the late Margaret Gillespie I would like to thank John, Julie and all their staff for the support they gave to us after the passing of our Aunty. Aunty Margaret died in North Tees Hospital and she was buried in Kilcar, Co. Donegal, Fire.
John and Julie organised and advised us on the funeral arrangements here with thoughtfulness and compassion.
We were kept informed of Aunty Margaret's repatriation throughout on her journey back to Ireland. For all of this we are truly grateful.
Thank you John and Julie.

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

From our first meeting with John and Julie at Delanoys they showed great compassion and provided us with different suggestions for Mams funeral. Julie created a brilliant tribute video to her favourite song that portrayed Mams life brilliantly. They drove pas Grampian Care home where Mam spent her latter years. Julie and John walked in front of the cars giving all of the wonderful staff the chance to say their final farewells. So many personal touches that made such a sad day so special and personal. Can’t thank them enough.
Outstanding, caring and compassionate company who go the extra mile to ensure your loved ones have the best possible send off. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. Thank you John Delanoy and Julie Stout.
Five star service from this firm.
Very professional, attentive kind and caring. Would definitely recommend.

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!
Delanoy funeral services handled and guided my family through everything without complication, john was at then end of the phone to answer questions about things
The service was fantastic and went smoothly
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.
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.

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.
We would like to thank Julie and John for everything they did to help our family during our loss of our dear mam, they were caring and compassionate throughout our whole process and they took care of our mam perfectly, even giving us a copy of the memorial video that they created for us which is fantastic
This is a really difficult review to write and one I wish I didn't have to. Having lost our 20 year old son, brother, grandson, nephew and friend in unexpected and heartbreaking circumstances, we were completely unprepared and overwhelmed with the task of ensuring we could provide the very best send off he so rightly deserved.

John Delanoy stepped in and immediately understood what our requirements were. He worked closely with us and liased with other parties involved with the arrangements on our behalf. This helped reduce the burden we were facing at a time when empathy, patience and compassion were needed the most.

We cannot express our gratitude enough to John and his team. We have recently moved a family members pre-paid Golden Charter plan to Delanoy Funeral Services Ltd from another local provider. We have done this as we know that the care and level of compassion we received are unparalleled and unlikely to be matched.

To anyone who sadly finds themselves with planning a loved one's service, please don't hesitate to pick up the phone and give them a call. They are there for you and by your side from the very first second.

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.

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.
