We, as a family, would like to express our heartfelt thanks to John and Julie at Delanoys Funeral Directors for all the care, compassion, and support you have shown us during such a difficult time.

You both truly went above and beyond to make everything as easy and comforting as possible for our family. Your professionalism, kindness, and attention to every detail from start to finish were exceptional. Organising a band for Marty’s farewell made the service even more special, and every detail was carried out perfectly.

Thank you again for everything you have done for us. It will never be forgotten.

My father passed away on the 10th of April he had a pre paid funeral plan which made my life so much easier at a terrible time. John and Julie were absolutely amazing through out the whole process and did not falter. They rang me text me and visited through out the whole process. Their attention to detail was amazing. When you are in such a vulnerable place you need someone to rely on and trust. John and Julie were those people, I felt comforted and safe under their care. My dad would have been so grateful for their support as am I.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my dads send off the best it could have been. Terri & family.

Absolutely fantastic service, Julie and John went above and beyond with our Sons funeral, they really do care and are so considerate to your every wish at such a heartbreaking time in our lives, we would definitely recommend Delanoy’s funeral services. Peter and Tracey

During your saddest times Julie and John are the people you need. Julie’s incredible and genuine warmth and John’s quiet, reassuring professionalism will navigate you through this awful time. Nothing is too much trouble and no question is too silly. Always contactable you’re made to feel like you’re their only priority. We felt so fortunate to have found them and to have been able to entrust our mum to them. Everything was so beautifully, tastefully and respectfully orchestrated. We could not have been more pleased with how the day went and we cannot thank them enough.

We'd like to thank Julie and John, for the care and compassion they showed us, following the death of my mother. The day of the funeral was faultlessly arranged and exactly what we wanted. Consequently, we would definitely recommend Delanoy Funeral Services.

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.

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.

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!

We cannot thank John, Julie and their staff enough for all their help, kindness, compassion and understanding. They helped make a very heartbreaking time a little easier. Natalie’s pink coffin was beautiful and just what we wanted for her and the pink ties worn by John and Julie were a lovely, unexpected addition. We were also touched by the lovely post on their Facebook page, helping to share our sad news.

Delanoy Funeral Service provided an absolute fantastic tribute to the life of my mam. I could not have asked for a better service John and Julie are such wonderful people and nothing is too much trouble. They organised everything for me from the flowers to the service books and they were outstanding! I have used this company for three of my family members now and I would never use anyone else. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I can't thank Julie and John enough for the fantastic service they provided. From the initial meeting on the day of passing to the funeral day. They showed great empathy and consideration for me and my family at such an emotional time. There service is second to none. Regards Nancy Stewart

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.

We're do I start, suddenly we lost our precious dad on 30/07/2024, Delony were absolutely amazing from start to finish, they gave our dad the most perfect send off,they were very caring and supportive at this devastating time. I would like to thank Julie, John and the team for there compassion and professionalism, also a massive thank you for showing our dad's life at the church which made everyone cry and laugh.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
You did my dad proud.

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

On behalf of the family of Joyce Smith.I cannot speak highly enough of the personal and professional way in which Mam's funeral arrangements were handled. The service was truly memorable and was much appreciated by all family and friends. Thank you John, Julie and all your staff.

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.
