Many thanks

From the moment we first spoke to them, the Julie and John were incredible. They showed so much love, care, and support through such a difficult time for our family. They made sure the funeral was completely individual to my brother, thinking of every little detail and guiding us with kindness from start to finish. Their communication was faultless, and nothing was ever too much trouble. We will always be grateful for the compassion and dedication they gave us, they truly went above and beyond.

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.

My partner david got taken to Sunderland Royal hospital and passed away on the 20th July with cancer he hadn't had it very long but we all knew how bad he was getting the service john and julie gave for david was above and beyond the kindness they showed me and my family at the sad time the celebrant with her kind words also the roses gone on David's hearse.Hes now laid to rest and not in pain

Julie and john went above and beyond.looked after rachel had her beauitful.also looked after her family keeping intouch with us. the service they gave was excellent from start to finnish.most careing people ever thankyou from the bottom of my heart for everything you both done for Rachel and her family.

Delanoys were so sensitive in organising our Mam’s funeral. Julie and John are easy to trust. At a time when it is hard to think clearly, they take away the worry and stress by stepping you through what needs to happen. They listened and responded with tasteful suggestions. They keep in touch and are very clear on what you do and don’t need to think about. In the end, we had the most wonderful day which celebrated Mam’s life with all the people who knew and loved her. At a sad time, you are very safe in their hands.

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 mother died late March and Delanoy did a beautiful and dignified funeral I would recommend them as being the best in the area

I would definitely like to recommend Delanoy Funeral Services as everything went so smoothly start to end. John and Julie were very kind, respectful and very caring people when it comes to doing this. Yours definitely helped towards giving my nana (Alison) a great send off. They even went the extra mile having red and white ties for my nana who was a Sunderland fan. So I would 100% recommend Delanoy Funeral Services! Huge thanks John and Julie

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.

Hi John and Julie,

Thank you so much for everything you did, in supporting me and the family, after Dad died.

As funeral directors, I know that it's your job but the advice, care and attention to detail, helped me enormously while coming to terms with my Dads death.

You treat my Dad as if he was a member of your own family and we couldn't have asked for anything more.

I'll be eternally grateful for the kindness and care you showed.

Bless you both.

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

Another fantastic service of John Delanoy and Julie from Delanoy Funeral Services myself and 3 other family members been up to durham crematorium for a direct cremation of a uncle although it was only a direct cremation it's what the deceased wanted no fuss.John brought him up in the hearse other company's where just coming in cars or vans walked him into the crematorium put flowers and photo on the coffin at no extra cost and let us even sit with our uncle for couple of mins and played music absolutely fantastic service from them.x

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

Would like to say a heartfelt thank you to John and Julie and team. At a difficult time you arranged every detail of my dad’s funeral perfectly, showing kindness and helping me through every step of the way.
Flowers were absolutely amazing, and the compassion and support you both showed me on the day of my dad’s funeral was outstanding.
No amount of words can express my gratitude for the care you showed me throughout. Every wish was carried out to a very high standard and I really couldn’t have asked for more.
Highly recommend John & Julie Delanoy Funeral Services

THANK YOU

Excellent service from John and Julie, many thanks for making a difficult time pass more easily. Lots of care and attention paid to every detail at the funeral of John Shields. Highly recommended with much appreciation.

3 years ago Delanoys provided their service for my mothers funeral and back then their service was excellent, both John and Julie provided a beautiful send off for her.
On the 14th November this year we said our goodbyes to my father and John and Julie were there to give a personal send off.
From the moment we set off it was exactly as I could imagine my father would have wanted, the little touches that they made were so lovely and thoughtful.
Myself and my family would like to thank John and Julie but also to all the staff who were very courteous, friendly and professional.
It was a difficult day but went very smoothly thanks to Delanoys funeral services.
For that myself and my family are very grateful.

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.

John, Julie and the whole team did an amazing job for my husbands funeral. From start to finish they handled everything. I would highly recommend them. Thank you for all your support and making the funeral go so smoothly. Their service is excellent

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.
