Outstanding service when you need it most. Delanoy were both empathetic and accommodating, taking all the hassle out of the arrangements in what is a very difficult time. I can't recommend Delanoy Funeral Services enough. John, Julie and their team are fantastic.

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.

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.

Highly recommended, Julie and John went above and beyond in the hardest of times ❤️

Thankyou for an excellent service. John and Julie have supported myself and family through the whole process even when changes were needed. I would highly recommend to anyone, thank you

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.

My husband, Bill, said he wanted a no fuss, simple funeral and that is what Delanoy arranged for us. My daughter and I have nothing but praise for the professionalism, caring and compassion shown to us by Julie and John. They were like friends we had known for a long time and nothing was a trouble. The funeral was a simple but beautiful closure to his life. My daughter and I can only compliment and recommend them, and their staff, for their support and organisation at such a sad time.

I can't thank Julie and John enough for the fantastic service they provided. From the initial meeting on the day of passing to the funeral day. They showed great empathy and consideration for me and my family at such an emotional time. There service is second to none. Regards Nancy Stewart

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.

During the most difficult day of our lives, Delanoy provided a professional and dignified service. They provided empathy, compassion, and respect to the family.

Working with John and Julie, we were able to add the details we wanted to give Marie a beautiful sendoff she deserved. We were able to mourn and say goodbye in the way we wanted. When we had any questions, both provided important knowledge and expertise.

Throughout the planning of the funeral and during the funeral, both John and Julie gave us guidance, advice, support and were there every step of the way. I highly recommend Delanoy to anyone looking for an outstanding funeral service.

Thank you for everything.

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.

Just a massive thank you to Julie and John for a brilliant funeral from start to finish, everyone that attended commented on how beautiful the service was, and how beautiful the flower and vegetable box was that sat on top of the coffin once again thank you ❤️

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.

We'd like to thank Julie and John, for the care and compassion they showed us, following the death of my mother. The day of the funeral was faultlessly arranged and exactly what we wanted. Consequently, we would definitely recommend Delanoy Funeral Services.

Delanoys Funeral services, we're fantastic. They went above and beyond to help me and my family through a very difficult time. Excellent service and communication, I would highly recommend them.

We would like to thank John,Julie, and the Delanoy team for giving guidance, and support to my family at the this very difficult time. The funeral was explained and every detail was covered making the day as she would have wanted it. I would highly recommend the Delanoy team for their professionalism, compassion, and support throughout.

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!

John and Julie and their team were exceptional from first contact through to the final funeral day. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone. The service they provided was professional and efficient and always personal and caring. Their care and compassion was a great support to us.They guided us step by step through a stressful experience, nothing was too much trouble and they helped us to carry out the last wishes of a much loved mother. They ensured that everything ran smoothly and every detail was taken care of. Their sensitive and respectful approach gave us absolute confidence to entrust them with the care of our loved one. Our visit to the Chapel of Rest was hugely comforting to the family and enabled us to say our last goodbyes in a tranquil and dignified setting. Thank you.

An excellent service from John and Julie whilst arranging my father in laws funeral. Their professionalism, compassion and thoughtfulness was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble. Can wholeheartedly recommend them.

They have advised us and supported us through out the most difficult time of our lives . We can’t thank you both enough for everything you have done and for giving our mam the best send off possible . From the family of the late Jennie Seed

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.

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
