I would like to thank John and Julie for the amazing service they provided for our baby, Jude. Everything was perfect and they went above and beyond to make it even more special than we expected . 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.

My family cannot speak highly enough of the kind, caring and empathetic service Delanoy Funeral Services provided to us all following the death of our beloved mam. The service and support provided was faultless from the moment they were contacted until the day of the funeral. Julie and John at Delanoy knew that mam was a long-standing Sunderland AFC ticket holder who followed the club home and away. Knowing how much the club meant to her, on the day before her funeral, Delanoy took her on one last trip to the Stadium of Light and made a beautiful short video of the visit. This was entirely at the behest of John and Julie and was a wonderful and emotional surprise for the whole family. It meant so much to us all. Mam would have been so thrilled and delighted. Thank you John and Julie. You are a credit to your profession.

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.

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 x

Losing someone so close to your heart is the hardest moments to deal with. I can’t thank Delanoy Funeral Services enough. Julie and John have been our strength to help make our difficult time as a family nothing but ease. The professionalism, empathy and compassion they have shown, our family will never forget and most likely will never be able to repay our thanks.

With such an unexpected experience, Julie and John guided us through the process, step by step. Making sure that everything was perfect.

From all of our family, thank you for everything you’ve done and for helping us say our last goodbyes in such a memorable way which we will never forget.

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!

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.

The Grange can not thank John and Julie enough for the amazing service they provided for "Our Tommy" from start to finish. The respect they showed, the kindness and understanding all throughout our difficult time. The tribute video which perfectly highlighted Tommy's beautiful character was such a special touch. You honestly made a difficult time easier with your kindness and provided Tommy with the best possible send off. We thankyou all from the bottom of our hearts. Delanoy, your team and services that you provide are amazing ❤️ Love from all of the staff and service users at The Grange. ❤️

Absolute first class service start to finish from both John and Julie and the rest of the team! Nothing too much trouble, caring and considerate throughout an already painful process, up to date with every little detail and obviously work close with other great people! Our flowers/trees were perfect. Thank you so very much for everything.

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.

The Jones Family

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.

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.

Thank you for a personalised, caring and compassionate service during some of the most difficult and heartbreaking times xxx

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 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.

I cannot recommend Delanoy Funeral Services enough.
Thank you

Thank you, John, Julie and all the Delanoy’s team, for guiding our family through a difficult time. Your professional approach, patience and knowledge allowed dad to have the funeral he and mam had planned. Using a local funeral director who has supported our family for generations made it so personal for us all and you fully understood what we wanted to achieve. Dad’s funeral was a memorable and emotional day thanks to your attention to detail and TLC. We can’t thank you enough!
