A very local and personable service at emotional time. Different options were shared which helped fill me with assurance. The actual time at the crematorium was as we discussed and the service was undertaken with passion and dignity.

David Murray

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

We lost our little girl at 7 days old. John & Julie couldn’t help us enough. They were amazing, I honestly can’t recommend them enough. Everything I asked for just wasn’t an issue at all. Even little things such as she had a tonies box playing in the RVI & they made sure it was always on for her off there own backs we didn’t even have to ask. I wanted it all videoing & aimed towards her big brother so that he could watch it when he was older & so he felt included in it all & they did everything we asked & more. Everything was absolutely perfect. They went above and beyond to make sure our family & Saige-Ann were looked after. The room is absolutely beautiful & they took such good care of her.
Thank you so much for everything.
You have no idea the way you helped us in one of the hardest times in our lives.

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.

Just to say a very special thankyou to all of those at Delanoy Funeral Services.
John, Julie & the fellas went above and beyond for not just my Nana Mac but also for my family too.
I had never gotten to see my Nana in the chapel of rest but from what I’ve been told by my Nanas brothers & sisters, she had looked beautiful and at peace ♥️.
So from myself, my mam & sister - Thankyou so much x

from the moment Delanoy's involvement began, just a few short hours after our adored Nana had peacefully passed away surrounded by love, to the time for saying a final goodbye at the funeral, everybody at Delanoys treated nana with the utmost dignity and respect. Ensuring that they were compassionate and supportive in every interaction we had with them. Thankyou to all for making sure that our family were supported and informed so professionally, and allowing us to have time to navigate one of the most difficult parts of life with the comfort and assurance that allowed this to be as worry-free as possible.

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.

Following the death of our Mam, Geraldine ”Gera” Kirkbride, we would like to thank John and Julie for their kindness and compassion during this difficult time. The care and professionalism they showed through every stage of the arrangements went above and beyond. Mam received the send off she deserved. Thanks also go to the Delanoy Funeral Services team for their exceptional hard work and dedication.

Olive, Dennis and Lynn.

The family of George Henry Smith would like to thank John for the lovely funeral service. Under the current circumstances nothing was compromised and the service provided was friendly yet professional.

John and Julie was recommended by a neighbour after we sadly lost our baby boy who was born sleeping. We didn't have a clue what to do or what we wanted but John and Julie helped and supported us to make decisions. They really went above and beyond their role to ensure we was happy with our choices and we can not thank them enough for their services.

Debbie Hardy

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 ❤️❤️❤️

Alfie H

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.

I can not thank John and Julie from Delanoy Funeral Service enough for the excellent service they provided to my family and the respect they showed to my Dad in his final journey.
From day 1, I knew we'd made the right decision choosing them, and we were not wrong. Every request we had (and there were a few) were delivered with care, consideration and professionalism. With nothing being too much trouble.
They made one of the saddest occasions that has happened to our family, that little bit more bearable and I will be forever grateful.

Peter O'Hanlon

My father recently died and Delanoys were our first choice for acting as our funeral partners. I use funeral partners rather than funeral directors because John and Julie involved the family at every step of the funeral planning. No detail was too small for them to step in and take care of, to provide the smoothest and most unobtrusive service we could possibly expect.

Delanoys don't take centre stage in the funeral, the family do; Delanoys make sure that everything is taken care of so that the family have nothing to worry about. Nothing is left to chance and the level of planning ensures the funeral is as smooth as possible, and their local knowledge and local contacts eases the pressure at an incredibly stressful time.

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!

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.

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.

This morning, we said goodbye to Mark Jepson “Jeppa” a much loved and dedicated Sunderland supporter.

Mark sadly passed away just two months after losing his mother, and we felt it was only right to give him a memorable send-off that was personal to him and reflected the love so many had for him.

A massive thank you to Sunderland AFC and the Heaven Branch for your support today. It meant so much and helped make his farewell truly special.

I am so sorry to hear this. Marilyn and I would occasionally text each other. She would keep me informed of the happenings in England. She always thought of other folks. Her last message to me ended with, "Take care pet." Just typical of her character. I am so very sad. RIP Marilyn you are an Easington Icon.

RIP Marilyn sincere condolences to Jimmy,family and friends. Great girl and did so much for families during the 84/85 miners strike.

Such sad news, RIP Marilyn, condolences to Jimmy and the family. 💔 xxx
