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.
Professional from the beginning of the planning process to the fulfillment of the funeral itself.

My family are very pleased we made the right choice in choosing this Company for our Mothers funeral.

She had a brilliant send-off and the accompanying videos and audio recordings that Julie did for us were the highlight of the day.

I would recommend this Company to anyone planning a funeral.

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.

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.
We couldn’t have asked for better care during such a difficult time. John & julie provided an amazing service from start to finish, handling everything with genuine compassion, professionalism, and attention to detail.
They treated my mother with the utmost dignity and respect, and supported our family every step of the way. Nothing felt rushed or overlooked, and their kindness made a real difference to us.
Thank you for making a very hard time a little easier. We are truly grateful.
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

My family & I can't thank John & Julie enough for their support & guidance at such a devastating time. Their professionalism, along with their caring & respectful approach was exactly what our family needed in dealing with the loss of my father. Thank you both for helping us through the process, words can not express how grateful we are.
A caring family business who we have used twiice in the last 2 years.Highly recommended.
I would heartily recommend Delanoy Funeral Services. They have dealt with both my parents' funerals in the last two months, and have handled both with immense compassion and care. Both John and Julie managed the process with me with the utmost respect. The services were flawless, the flowers amazing and the catering services faultless. My thanks to you both.
If you want a personalised goodbye from people that listen and get to know the little things that were important to the family. Dont give it a second thought use Delanoy.
They dealt with absolutely everything and guided us all each step of the way. Thank you Julie and John

Very highly recommended
Julie spoke to my girls a couple of days ago to see if they were okay and they made it very special by including a video for memories they made the girls included in the video showing there necklaces of their mam what a lovely touch they are the best and always looked out for us 5 star service!
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.
John and Julie were very supportive at this sad time towards family and friends. Everything was taken care of very professional and great understanding of my wishes and needs.i would not hesitate to recommend delanoy funeral services thank you.
I want to thank you and John from bottom of my heart for everything you guys did to make my dad's day so special. Your eye for detail and ideas to make someone's day so special is amazing. Thank you for all the help you guys have given us as a family . You guys are just brilliant Xxxxx

Today we said farewell to our dad. Julie and John took us through the whole process and the day with such professionalism and empathy. We would recommend Delanoy to anyone in these times of sadness. x
Julie and John helped immensely with my dad’s funeral earlier this year. They were professional, patient, highly responsive, kind and generous with their time. I didn’t know what to expect or how to navigate a death in the family, but they made everything clear and arranged things with a minimum of fuss. I was glad to have this team by my side at a difficult time. Recommend.
Cannot thank john and Julie from delanoy funeral services they both go above and beyond . So supportive through such a difficult time the way they cared for my mother in law was second to none. Highly recommend delanoy to anyone such lovely people
A huge thank you to both John and Julie at Delanoys, during a very difficult time they provided our family with a first class service. They were professional throughout, sympathetic to our needs and thought outside of the box in making the service that more special. If you are looking at a different Funeral Services, don’t, they will be inferior. First class service from a first class team
From the moment we engaged Delanoy Funeral Services the attention given to us as a family was not only professional but personal. Throughout the entire process John and Julie supported us beyond what we could have ever expected. There was no question too big or too small. Every detail was impeccable from the passing of Fred to laying him to rest. The personal touches given by John and Julie put us all at ease - they went above and beyond especially on the day of the funeral, making sure every element was perfect.
The effort in the background ensured that we had nothing to worry about as we could trust it was all being dealt with which took a lot of the worry away in what was a very difficult time for us as a family. The flowers were all just perfect, the order of service exactly as we requested and on the day of the funeral we could not have asked for anything more.
From the bottom of our hearts we will be forever grateful of the amazing support and service.
Delenoy Funeral Service go above and beyond for families at the worst time. In the space of 8 months they have done my dads and my mums funeral. I cannot fault the service they provide, the little details they put in place to make it as special as possible and the friendliness of John and Julie.
Delanoy Funeral Services provided a first class service to our family during a very difficult time losing my Mother. John, Julie and their team were utterly professional throughout whilst also having the compassion and understanding of a family in mourning. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
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.

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.

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.

A beautiful final farewell for former miner Martin Jones today in Easington.

Martin loved the Durham Big Meeting, the brass bands, and everything the mining community stood for. It was a real honour to have the Miners’ Banner out for him today.

Thank you to Alan Cummings for arranging for the banner to be there, and to the brass band players who came along to support us and Martin’s family. Your presence meant so much.
