I used Delanoys 9 years ago for my Dad, and just recently for my Mam.
I can't praise highly enough, they lead you through the process by hand, there's no need to worry about anything. I felt both times my loved ones were in good care which is a massive comfort.

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

I have asked Delanoy’s on three occasions to arrange the funerals of my loved ones. They are very professional but also down to earth and very caring. Even Hospice staff have said they had never dealt with funeral services as caring as Delanoy’s. I would highly recommend them.

On behalf of Lawrence Mc Donald's family I would like to express our heartfelt thanks to John and Julie .At a distressing time they have supported the family with great respect and professionalism. Dad's requiem mass was beautiful with touches suggested by John and Julie. They also conducted my Mams funeral (Doris) a year ago with the same attention. Excellent communication is a trademark of their service and ongoing support. Thank you so much for everything you have done for the family.

Dear John and Julie
We are deeply grateful for your kindness, understanding and support during this very difficult time. Your compassion and professionalism and the way that you made such a difficult time easier for us is without measure. Your compassion during our initial consultation was a great comfort to us and your thoughtful advice and unwavering guidance helped the family to navigate a very challenging period in our lives. You arranged mams funeral , creating a very meaningful and personal journey that truly honoured our wonderful mam , and for that we say thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

They both showed care, compassion and empathy, they are both genuinely lovely people. They are both Earth angels and we will be forever grateful for everything they did for us at the hardest time of our lives.

I’m so pleased I chose Delanoy Funeral Services to assist with arrangements after the loss of my dad. The whole process was made much more bearable due to John and Julie’s friendly, caring and sympathetic approach. They looked after myself and my family from day 1. Their knowledge and professionalism shines through and together they made my dad’s funeral a day I know he would have been proud of, with some extra personal touches. I wouldn’t hesitate in using their services again (although hopefully not for a long time!) and will definitely recommend. Thank you so much!

I would highly recommend Delanoy funeral services, Julie, John and the team went above and beyond for my mams funeral the detail and the extent they go to is amazing. Nothing was a problem and always happy to answer calls and texts when we needed them.
Our tribute video and street footage are amazing keepsakes and detail again was just something else not forgetting Julie and John travelling to my mams favourite place in the Lakes to make our video that extra special.
All the children where made to feel at ease throughout.
Thank you so much for everything, you done us as a family very proud and my beautiful Mam! Anna & Family xxxx

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. If you find yourself needing their services, then you will be in amazing hands.

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.

All of the family would like to thank John & Julie for all of their guidance and support following the passing of my Mam, Ann Coils. They went above and beyond to provide a professional service that was tailored to our wishes. They were very compassionate and respectful.

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.

A big thank you to John and Julie of Delanoy Funeral Services for their expertise, knowledge,and care in organising the funeral of John Anderson of Easington Village on January 20th. It was a very emotional time for all our family but every aspect of his funeral was taken care of by John and Julie, they couldn’t do enough to cater for our needs and wishes. We always said when dad passes he was going to have a special send off and he did.
A special thanks to the vicar Lucy Moss for her eulogy and funeral service, all who were there commented on the lovely send off John had. Thanks again to Delanoy Funeral Services for their professionalism at a difficult time.

I had no hesitation in contacting Delanoy funeral services after the previous experience we had with the passing of my mother.

I lost my soul partner Ian Calvert , the support and care through the most difficult of times helped me through. I could not recommend this service high enough to anyone.

The service from John and Julie is so personalised and second to none.

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.

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.
