Funeral Directors Peterlee & Surrounding Areas

Delanoy Funeral Services – Funeral Directors Peterlee, Durham.

With a family name in the funeral industry going back over 120 years in the area. John Delanoy and Julie Stout from Just Out Marketing decided to form a new concept in funeral services launching together as Delanoy Funeral Services. Initally, it was to help people who had lost loved ones give them a better send off during the Coronavirus out break, however people loved the new unique concept and company. Julie looked at more ways rather than just the inital filming of funerals to give people that more personal send off with her years of experience in the creative industry. In August 2020 they opened up their 3rd branch in Julie’s home town of Peterlee.

Funeral Director Julie Stout Quoted

” I wanted to ensure people in my home town got the best possible service, during and after the Coronavirus outbreak. Working with families in my home town means a lot to me, the reviews we have had have been amazing and the feed back from the families. We pride ourselves on being different and doing things differently, from the smallest basic of funerals to the ultimate final farewell. John and myself work with the families to ensure they get a fitting send off. Working with John previously and being of a similar age, i knew he was the right person to team up in business with, the families love John and he really does care. John has years of experience in the funeral industry with a family history going back five generations”.

Funeral Director John Delanoy Quoted

” Julie coming into this industry has been a game changer, she has a wealth of experience and looks at everything totally different and certainly is a breath of fresh air to the industry. I have taught her the other aspects of the role and she is an absolute natural, the families we care for love her personality and caring nature.”

Since opening at Peterlee everything so far has been re invested into the business. Enabling the duo to buy a new Jaguar hearse and limousine and more recently a new private ambulance. Their priority is families first and they want the best for the people of Peterlee, Easington and surrounding areas, hence to date neither of them have taken any money out of the business.

Through word of mouth they have carried out funerals in Durham, Washington, Seaham, Penshaw, Chester-le-Street and other areas in addition to Peterlee, Easington and the other surrounding villages.

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.Feb 2024:The future arrived, we lost our mum in January and immediately contacted Julie and John. Once again they were superb. My mum got a fabulous send off, as good as, if not better than my dad's. Everything we asked for was done with dignity and compassion, we just 'turned up' and celebrated her life. Thanks again for making it so special.

If you are looking for a funeral director that cares I most definitely wouldn’t look any further than Delanoy Funeral Services. From the minute they... stepped through the door in the middle of the night I instantly knew we had made the right choice. The care and compassion that Julie and John showed to the whole family truly is amazing. We discussed what arrangements we would like, and they carried out every little detail we asked for, there was never a time when we were told no, we can’t do that. Due to the expertise of Julie and John our brother Mark got the most perfect service for us to all say our goodbyes. Julie was an absolute rock to our mam (Marilyn) when we couldn’t be there, and I can’t thank her enough for this (she is an absolute super star). So, to sum this up I would say they are the definitely the best in the business. So as a family we would like to say a massive thank you for everything you have done for us,John, Marilyn, John, Michelle, David, Louise (Devine)read more

Delanoy Funeral Services recently arranged my father’s funeral. John and Julie made the whole process so much easier than it could have been. They... were sensitive, caring and compassionate when dealing with myself and my family and offered a totally bespoke service with some wonderfully personal touches. They even got up at sunrise to take my father on a drive past his favourite places and made a very touching video of this which we have watched several times and really helped us with the grieving process. These people really care about what they do. They are professional, caring and totally aware of the importance of their role to grieving families. On top of that their bill was very reasonable indeed. I can not recommend them highly enough or thank them enough for what they did.read more

The entire process was brilliant, the finer details really separate Delanoy and other directors. It felt so incredibly personal and you could tell a... great deal of care and attention went into every aspect of the funeral. From special touches with music that we have never seen before to an incredible tribute video, is it bad to say I look forward to them planning my funeral?read more

This funeral service is second to none. We really can't thank John and Julie enough following the funeral of my father, Ian Berry. They treated us... with the utmost respect and compassion throughout this difficult time, giving us their professional advice while accommodating our requests and wishes. Nothing was too much trouble for them, their priority was our happiness with the service they provided, which has gone beyond the actual funeral. They gave Ian a send off to be proud of, for which we'll be eternally grateful.read more

Delanoy Funeral Services are an excellent company, who offer a caring and professional service.The support they have given myself and my partner... since the passing of our good friend Derek Hartis is impeccable.They made the service personal to whom Derek was as a person and about the life he lead, which is exactly what we wanted.They got the songs we wanted and used all the photos we'd asked them to use and even took time out of their personal lives to come to our home and take videos and aerial shots of the house, which we are extremely grateful for.Everyone commented after the service of how beautiful and personalised it was to Derek.They are very reasonably priced for the service they offer and for everything they include.We thank Delanoy Funeral Services from the bottom of our hearts for making this sad time so much easier to manage and cope with.Thanks and kind regardsCheryl and Terryread more

From our first meeting with John and Julie at Delanoys they showed great compassion and provided us with different suggestions for Mams funeral.... Julie created a brilliant tribute video to her favourite song that portrayed Mams life brilliantly. They drove pas Grampian Care home where Mam 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 farewells. So many personal touches that made such a 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

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

When our Mam Margaret died 18 months ago, John looked after us and took care of all the arrangements. We recently lost our Dad Henry and again we... turned to Delanoy’s Funeral Services because we knew we would receive a professional service. Due to Covid we knew things had to be done differently and both John and Julie gently steered us through every detail. Julie’s approach to making it a special celebration of Dad’s life really worked and she arranged for brass band members to play as Dad began his final journey – something he would have loved.Everything was beautifully recorded for friends and family who could not be there due to restrictions. The whole process from start to finish was handled with genuine care and compassion from John and Julie and we thank them from the bottom of our hearts.We would definitely recommend Delanoy’s Funeral Services without reservation.Thank you again from Henry’s Family.read more

This is a really difficult review to write and one I wish I didn't have to. Having lost our 20 year old son, brother, grandson, nephew and friend in... unexpected and heartbreaking circumstances, we were completely unprepared and overwhelmed with the task of ensuring we could provide the very best send off he so rightly deserved.John Delanoy stepped in and immediately understood what our requirements were. He worked closely with us and liased with other parties involved with the arrangements on our behalf. This helped reduce the burden we were facing at a time when empathy, patience and compassion were needed the most.We cannot express our gratitude enough to John and his team. We have recently moved a family members pre-paid Golden Charter plan to Delanoy Funeral Services Ltd from another local provider. We have done this as we know that the care and level of compassion we received are unparalleled and unlikely to be matched.To anyone who sadly finds themselves with planning a loved one's service, please don't hesitate to pick up the phone and give them a call. They are there for you and by your side from the very first second.read more

There simply aren’t the words to express our Thanks to Julie & John. Over the past month Delanoys have gone above & beyond to ensure our Dad’s wishes were honoured. Dad was treated with dignity & the empathy shown towards us simply could not be matched. The knowledge & care whilst arranging our Dads final journey was a huge comfort knowing if Dad was here, it would have received his approval. From their first visit to the day of the funeral, nothing was too much. We simply cannot recommend Delanoys enough, on behalf of Joe Stout’s family, Thank You from the bottom of our hearts.

During your saddest times Julie and John are the people you need. Julie’s incredible and genuine warmth and John’s quiet, reassuring professionalism will navigate you through this awful time. Nothing is too much trouble and no question is too silly. Always contactable you’re made to feel like you’re their only priority. We felt so fortunate to have found them and to have been able to entrust our mum to them. Everything was so beautifully, tastefully and respectfully orchestrated. We could not have been more pleased with how the day went and we cannot thank them enough.
