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!

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.

Five star service from this firm.
Very professional, attentive kind and caring. Would definitely recommend.

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.

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.

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 daughter and I would like to thank Delanoy Funeral Services for the care and compassion they showed us during this extremely difficult time on the passing of my husband Stephen.
Julie and John, went above and beyond to deliver a fuss free yet dignified service, everything that Stephen wanted.
My daughter and I cannot thank them enough and we would highly recommend Delanoy Funeral Services.

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

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.

Absolutely fantastic service. John and Julie are just a remarkable couple of people. Everything they did was done with care and professionalism.
Thank you for everything guys

My Family and I, would like to thank Delanoy Funeral Service for their unwavering support during a very difficult time on the passing of my Dad (Tony Curry). John and Julie are so easy to talk to and very compassionate, and dignified. They fully respected our families wishes and gave us the best advice to ease our loss. A special thank you to Julie for her lovely thoughtful words at the crematorium service. We would 100% recommend Delanoy Funeral Services.

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 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.

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.

Today we said farewell to our dad. Julie and John navigated us through the whole process and the day itself so professionally and with such empathy. We cannot thank them enough and we highly recommend Delanoy Funeral Services. 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.

Delanoys funeral place are amazing John and Julie’s were just brilliant made everything so easy absolutely brilliant people friendly warm helped me any way they could ❤️❤️❤️

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

My son sadly passed away 22 June this year after a long fight with cancer aged 2 years it was the most devastating time we have had to go through.
