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.read more

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 Julieread more

3 years ago Delanoys provided their service for my mothers funeral and back then their service was excellent, both John and Julie provided a... beautiful send off for her.On the 14th November this year we said our goodbyes to my father and John and Julie were there to give a personal send off.From the moment we set off it was exactly as I could imagine my father would have wanted, the little touches that they made were so lovely and thoughtful.Myself and my family would like to thank John and Julie but also to all the staff who were very courteous, friendly and professional.It was a difficult day but went very smoothly thanks to Delanoys funeral services.For that myself and my family are very grateful.Alan Lee, Peterleeread more

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.read more

John and Julie and the whole team at Delanoy Funeral Services were absolutely excellent. They made a very difficult time as easy as possible with a... first class, friendly, sympathetic and respectful service.Julie's video tribute to Ron was perfect. A touching tribute to him, which he'd have loved. Julie was so innovative and imaginative in producing something with unexpected touches throughout.This was the first experience I have personally had with Delanoy's but my mother has family ties with the company going back generations, so we knew they were a long-established and well respected company.They were very responsive. Prompt and accomodating of everything we wanted. Both of us would highly recommend their service to anyone.Thank you for everything you have done for us.read more

During the most difficult day of our lives, Delanoy provided a professional and dignified service. They provided empathy, compassion, and respect to... the family.Working with John and Julie, we were able to add the details we wanted to give Marie a beautiful sendoff she deserved. We were able to mourn and say goodbye in the way we wanted. When we had any questions, both provided important knowledge and expertise.Throughout the planning of the funeral and during the funeral, both John and Julie gave us guidance, advice, support and were there every step of the way. I highly recommend Delanoy to anyone looking for an outstanding funeral service.Thank you for everything.read more

What can I say. Delanoy did my dad proud. We gave him the same as we gave our mam 18 months ago. Every detail was done to the tee with the most... caring help and support at this terribly devastating time. John, Julie and the guys were professional and showed great empathy and go above and beyond. Both funerals captured the person and made us laugh and cry and celebrate their lives all at the same time.Thank you so much 💖read more

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.Graeme Harlandread more

There simply aren’t the words to express our Thanks to Julie & John. Over the past month Delanoys have gone above & beyond to ensure our Dad’s wishes... were honoured. Dad was treated with dignity & the empathy shown towards us simply could not be matched.

The service from the team at Delanoy Funeral Services was superb from the initial contact right up to the actual service. The courtesy and dignity... displayed throughout was second to none. They went above and beyond to create a celebration of my dad's life, encapsulating every aspect of it in a beautiful way, including a beautiful video tribute, which was well met by everyone who attended. They also looked after us ensuring we didn't have to do anything, as it was all looked after for us, allowing us to be part of the service and allowing us to grieve, in our own way, and say goodbye.Thanks Delanoy, will definitely know where to go in the future.Feb 2024:The future arrived, we lost our mum in January and immediately contacted Julie and John. Once again they were superb. My mum got a fabulous send off, as good as, if not better than my dad's. Everything we asked for was done with dignity and compassion, we just 'turned up' and celebrated her life. Thanks again for making it so special.

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)read more

Delanoy Funeral Services recently arranged my father’s funeral. John and Julie made the whole process so much easier than it could have been. They... were sensitive, caring and compassionate when dealing with myself and my family and offered a totally bespoke service with some wonderfully personal touches. They even got up at sunrise to take my father on a drive past his favourite places and made a very touching video of this which we have watched several times and really helped us with the grieving process. These people really care about what they do. They are professional, caring and totally aware of the importance of their role to grieving families. On top of that their bill was very reasonable indeed. I can not recommend them highly enough or thank them enough for what they did.read more

We wanted to take the time to say a huge Thank you to both Julie and John for the support that they have given us throughout this very difficult... time.The service that they have provided since the moment we initially made that first call, up until the day of mams service has been truly outstanding.In particular the bespoke services that they offer really is second to none.We have family members who were unfortunately unable to attend mams funeral due to the current restrictions, but with the help of Julie’s personalised tributes and video footage taken on the day, this will allow them to be part of mams final journey which was so important to the family.It definitely takes a special kind of person to do what they do, consoling and supporting bereaved families but they are both truly amazing people. They act with genuine respect, care and compassion.Julie in particular works tirelessly around the clock, and despite having other families to support she has been there for us at all times which is something we cannot thank her enough for.She has been a shoulder to cry on, and has acted like a friend in what has been a very sad journey.Once again a huge thank you from the bottom of our hearts, you have helped us give Mam the send off she deserves.Steven & Samantha xread more

When our Mam Margaret died 18 months ago, John looked after us and took care of all the arrangements. We recently lost our Dad Henry and again we... turned to Delanoy’s Funeral Services because we knew we would receive a professional service. Due to Covid we knew things had to be done differently and both John and Julie gently steered us through every detail. Julie’s approach to making it a special celebration of Dad’s life really worked and she arranged for brass band members to play as Dad began his final journey – something he would have loved.Everything was beautifully recorded for friends and family who could not be there due to restrictions. The whole process from start to finish was handled with genuine care and compassion from John and Julie and we thank them from the bottom of our hearts.We would definitely recommend Delanoy’s Funeral Services without reservation.Thank you again from Henry’s Family.read more

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.read more
🌈💖 A Gentle Reminder of Love 💕
A heartfelt poem to reassure us that our loved ones are always near:
✨ Wrapped in love and whispers, a soft feather gently finds its way to you.
✨ Vibrant colors of the rainbow follow your path, hoping to spark a smile.
Strength is found through nature's messengers - like gentle robins resting on windowsills. Each day, we're reminded that love never truly goes away 🪶
Through these symbols, may you feel comforted, knowing those who've passed remain with you in spirit ❤️
I've sent you a soft, white feather,
Placed gently along your way,
Wrapped in love and whispers,
To tell you you'll be okay.
I painted a brilliant rainbow,
Following your path for a while,
A cascade of vibrant colors,
Hoping to spark your smile.
I guided a gentle robin,
To rest on your window's edge,
Praying it brings you strength,
To pull back from life's ledge.
Each day I try to remind you,
I never truly went away,
Through feathers, rainbows, and robins,
I’m with you, come what may.

To us, these pets are family.
Over the years, they've shared in these emotional times, offering comfort, support, and love. Unfortunately, some of these devoted dogs have since passed, reunited with their beloved owners.

**🌈 Celebrate Find a Rainbow Day! 🌈**
Today, we honour the beauty and wonder of rainbows. We'd love to share this touching poem, often used at funerals, in memory of our cherished loved ones.
Look for Me in Rainbows
Time for me to go now, I won't say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, way up in the sky.
In the morning sunrise when all the world is new,
Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.
Time for me to leave you, I won't say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, high up in the sky.
In the evening sunset, when all the world is through,
Just look for me and love me, and I'll be close to you.
It won't be forever, the day will come and then
My loving arms will hold you, when we meet again.
Time for us to part now, we won't say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, shining in the sky.
Every waking moment, and all your whole life through
Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.
Just wish me to be near you,
And I'll be there with you. 🌈
