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.

Amazing service.from start to finish.i cant praise this man enough for the send off he give my mam.
Delanoy Funeral Services were friendly, professional, sensitive and very supportive with our wishes for my beautiful mams send off. They made a very hard day easy. They handled everything for us so we didn't have to worry about a thing. The Visual Tribute played in church was a special touch. Thank you John, Julie and the Team. 5 Star Service.

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!
John and Julie could not have been nicer , caring or more professional when they helped us with my mums funeral - nothing was too much trouble for them - all we had to do was text or call them and they went above and beyond to help us - they certainly made what was a very emotional and upsetting time for my family, so much easier to deal with and I can’t thank them enough
Just a massive thank you to Julie and John for a brilliant funeral from start to finish, everyone that attended commented on how beautiful the service was, and how beautiful the flower and vegetable box was that sat on top of the coffin once again thank you ❤️
My son sadly passed away 22 June this year after a long fight with cancer aged 2 years it was the most devastating time we have had to go through. I cannot thank Julie and john enough went above and beyond to help us through this difficult time they even got us a personalised coffin of his favourite character I cannot recommend them enough
when you loose a loved one it’s difficult to know which direction to turn, however i knew that John and Julie would give us the best care of my Mam. Julie is an absolute tower of strength and my Mam looked beautiful and at peace with Julie’s exceptional personal touch.
Even though my Dad and I were planning for one of the hardest days of our lives John and Julie made us smile with shared memories of our and their family.
Delanoy Funeral Services are by far outstanding in their field, heartfelt thanks and gratitude for all of their care and attention to detail.
John , Julie and their team are compassionate, understanding and professional , helping myself and my family through our difficult time
We would highly recommend Delano’s services

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.
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.
The entire process was brilliant, the finer details really separate Delanoy and other directors. It felt so incredibly personal and you could tell a great deal of care and attention went into every aspect of the funeral. From special touches with music that we have never seen before to an incredible tribute video, is it bad to say I look forward to them planning my funeral?

Highly recommended, Julie and John went above and beyond in the hardest of times ❤️
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 knowledge & care whilst arranging our Dads final journey was a huge comfort knowing if Dad was here, it would have received his approval. From their first visit to the day of the funeral, nothing was too much. We simply cannot recommend Delanoys enough, on behalf of Joe Stout’s family, Thank You from the bottom of our hearts.
A huge thank you to both John and Julie at Delanoys, during a very difficult time they provided our family with a first class service. They were professional throughout, sympathetic to our needs and thought outside of the box in making the service that more special. If you are looking at a different Funeral Services, don’t, they will be inferior. First class service from a first class team
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
From the moment our mam passed away, John & Julie have been there to support and respect our mam’s last wishes every single day. The care and compassion shown has been exceptional to ourselves and our family. Delanoy thrived to ensure our mams final farewell was personalised and fulfilled to the fine details.
The video that was created provided precious and lasting memories for ourselves, grandchildren and great children.
We would highly recommend Delanoy Funeral Services.

Professional from the beginning of the planning process to the fulfillment of the funeral itself.

My family are very pleased we made the right choice in choosing this Company for our Mothers funeral.

She had a brilliant send-off and the accompanying videos and audio recordings that Julie did for us were the highlight of the day.

I would recommend this Company to anyone planning a funeral.
I would like to thank John & Julie and staff from Delanoy Funeral services for the services that they provided for my brother and most recently sister in laws funeral.
Now some reviews give you an idea of how customer focused a business is. All the staff at Delanoy funeral services are amazing we would not have been able to give my sister in law the sending off we wanted had it not been for John & Julie. I would not recommend a service especially a one where you only get to do it once but you will not be disappointed with their service.

THANK YOU John & Julie, I will never be able to thank you enough for your above and beyond service and help that you gave me and my family. Truly helpful caring people.
I would like to thank John , Julie and the staff at delanoy funeral services, I would highly recommend their services , they personally went above and beyond to give my grandad Gordon Golightly and amazing send off he deserved they added special touches in the tribute video , thanks you all so much x
I could not rate Delanoy Funeral Services highly enough. The service they provided my family in preparation for my Dad's funeral was exemplary. Julie and John went above and beyond to make our sad occasion more bearable. I would recommend them to everyone.

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.

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.

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.

A beautiful final farewell for former miner Martin Jones today in Easington.

Martin loved the Durham Big Meeting, the brass bands, and everything the mining community stood for. It was a real honour to have the Miners’ Banner out for him today.

Thank you to Alan Cummings for arranging for the banner to be there, and to the brass band players who came along to support us and Martin’s family. Your presence meant so much.
