Delanoy Iuneral Services has been launched by John Delanoy and Julie Stout. The fa.ily could not travel to the RS because of the restrictions which were in place through the coronavirus. This was followed by a video of Peterlee t,Ti driver Ian Ridley, on behalf of Chevron TaTis by Just Out Marketing, which captured his _nal 2ourney and the 100 taxi drivers who had lined the streets to say their goodbyes. The video reached 60,000 people. Delanoy Iuneral Services is based at their newly opened pre.ises on Oakerside Park in Peterlee. John added: “Funerals are always tough but that doesn’t mean they can’t have so.e personality, a celebration of the deceased’s life as .uch as an e.otional last goodbye.” John has been in the funeral business since he was 16 and was the _fth generation of Delanoys to work for the fa.ily business which was _rst launched in 18N7.

Tri.don Village asked Delanoy Iuneral Services to organise her husband Stephen’s funeral, when he passed away aged A3. She said: “John and Julie came reco..ended to .e by a few people. Rnfortunately, I could not attend .y husband’s cre.ation as I was bed bound. Not only did they ensure he had a fantastic send-off but they also lmed everything for .e and created beautiful footage for me to keep. “Julie ca.e to .y ho.e that sa.e night with the footage to ensure I could see his funeral that day which .eant so .uch to .e. I cannot thank the. enough for what they did, .aking it possible for .e see .y husband’s service.” A message from the Editor: With the coronavirus lockdown having a major impact on many of our advertisers - and consequently the revenue we receive - we are more reliant than ever on you taking out a digital subscription.
