We can't thank John and Julie enough for the care and attention they have shown us when dealing with the funeral of Noel Armstrong.
Every detail was covered and nothing was too much trouble for them. Their guidance and kindness will always be appreciated by Molly, Jeff, Ruth and all the family.
Thank You.

At a time when you need support, advice and complete professionalism, I cannot recommend Delanoy Funeral Services highly enough. Both John and Julie went above and beyond to ease the most difficult of times. We have trusted our loved ones in their care many times and will do so again when necessary in the future. Excellent service.

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.

Just want to say a massive thank you to John and Julie for making sure my Grandma had the send off she deserved. The first time we met John and Julie we felt as though they were our friends, nothing was to much, any questions we had they got back to us immediately and it was so comforting knowing my Grandma was in the hands of two of the loveliest people me and my family have ever met. Honestly from the bottom of all our hearts thank you so much for getting us through the hardest time of our lives.

Dear John and Julie,

On behalf of the Chandy family we are sending our heartfelt gratitude for all you have done since losing our Dad, Dr Joseph Chandy.

We expected a professional approach but we were overwhelmed how personal you made the whole experience. The memorial video you made of our Dad brought everyone to tears that watched it. Furthermore you also created a beautiful video compilation of the day including the procession through Horden village that has captured the moment forever and was so moving.

You accommodated all our personal requests and went the extra mile to make it happen.

You held our hands every step of the way. Thank you so much for making a difficult time so special and spiritual.

Warm regards

Joseph, Paul and Leanne Chandy

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.

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.

At the most difficult of times, John and Julie were brilliant. They were kind, thoughtful, considerate and have wonderful ideas to fill the gaps where I just didn't have a clue.
Michelle Devine
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 for everything you have done for us,
John, Marilyn, John, Michelle, David, Louise (Devine)

I would like to thank Delanoy Funeral Services, for there sensitivity, compassion and pragmatic management of Julia Jollys funeral.

They offered a professional service that I know Julia would have approved.

The service at the Church taken by Lucy Moss captured the person who Julia was and gave the family the spiritual comfort needed at such a difficult time.

The tribute managed by Julie and John of Delanoy Funeral Services, captured Julia's life's achievements, in photographic format, reminding us all of the full and happy life Julia had enjoyed.

Thank you to all the friends, family and well wishers, I know Horace will take comfort in knowing he is is in your prays and thoughts.

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.
Without hesitation, we recommend this highly professional and dignified Funeral Service. John and Julie showed care, kindness and compassion to our family throughout our very sad bereavement. They worked with true dedication and commitment to give Dad the beautiful farewell he so deserved. We are very grateful for the supportive and personal approach they showed us. Thank you.

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.

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.

Arranging a funeral from the other side of the county was as daunting task. John and Julie handled everything from transportation to suggestions on the wake. We cannot thank them enough they turned our sadness into something special to remember. We feel both John and Julie went the extra mile to assist us and reduce the stress associated with such a sad event. Thank you.

Today marks 40 years since the passing of Douglas Delanoy.
He was not only a devoted funeral director, but a truly kind and gentleman whose compassion touched so many lives. He gave comfort, understanding, and quiet strength to every family he served. His care came from the heart, and it showed in everything he did. To us, he was a loving father and the soul of the family business

Though 40 years have passed, his legacy still lives on in everything we do and in the way we care for the families who place their trust in us. Forever in our hearts ♥️

Derby Day robins soar,
In colours worn so many times before.

Just for fun, but not alone,
For some now cheer from skies unknown.

For the voices we can’t hear in the stands anymore,
remembering Newcastle and Sunderland supporters with love and respect today.
