From our first meeting with John and Julie they showed great compassion and provided us with different suggestions for... Mams funeral. Julie created a brilliant tribute video to Mams favourite song that portrayed Mams life brilliantly. They drove past Grampian Care home where Mam had spent her latter years. Julie and John walked in front of the cars giving all of the wonderful staff the chance to say their final goodbyes. So many little personal touches that made the sad day so special and personal. Can’t thank them enough.read more

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.read more

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.read more

Following the death of our mam, Betty Johnson, John and Julie were there to help us at every stage. They provided a... very caring, compassionate and professional service for all our family, which helped us during our most difficult times. We can't thank them enough for their kind help and would not hesitate to recommend their services. A first class company.

I would first like to say a heartfelt Thank You to Julie and John for their help, support and guidance through what has... been a very difficult and traumatic time. I recently lost my soulmate - my wife, Ann. I am so pleased that I chose Delanoy Funeral Services to take care of proceedings and I really could not be happier with the personal service they provided. Nothing was too much trouble and both Julie and John were so caring and compassionate. There was no sense of dealing with an anonymous company, instead John ensured that every aspect was individually tailored towards the wishes of myself and my family. Both are warm and helpful and Julie's creativity in respect of the tribute and other matters is truly outstanding. The tribute itself is lovely and I'm sure in the weeks, months and years to come that I'll watch it over and over again. There were also family members and friends unable to attend and I'm pleased to be able to send a copy to everyone who missed the service. I'd also like to add a mention to florist Lisa for the amazing floral tributes, they are all beautiful. Again, Thank You, Julie and John for the fabulous service that you provided for Ann. Love and best wishes, Mark and family xread 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

I’ve been meaning to leave this review for a long time but like everything life got in the way. Even though it was over... a year ago now we have not forgotten how kindly we were treated. We cannot thank John and Delanoys enough for the compassion, care and guidance he gave us as a family when my Dad suddenly passed away. Especially as it happened while on holiday in Blackpool. With the added worry of getting his body home and the red tape involved, John guided us through the process. He was on hand to answer questions and it was the personal touches that made his service exceptional. He went above and beyond. Thank you again from The Glendenning familyread more

First class service . John goes above and beyond with his care ,support a d sympathetic approach , nothing is to much... trouble. I will never forget the kindness he showed us during our bereavement , he sorted everything, from collecting our loved one to organising the funeral, flowers , service , food taking all the stress from the Family ,we didnt have to think about anything. Then beyond that arranging the burial of my Brothers ashes and arranging for his plaque to be made . John spoke to us every day not only to check on arrangements but to check in on how we were . His prices are also very competitive but that does not compromise on the service you receive. If I ever have any other funerals to arrange I would not go anywhere else . 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐read more
