About Us

Established in 1952, George Brooke funeral directors offer compassionate funeral planning services to the North Kirklees area, including Dewsbury, Batley, Mirfield, Cleckheaton and Ossett. The office is open all week and 9am-2.30pm on Saturday.

A family-run and owned business, the George Brooke team promises to take the time to listen to a family’s requirements. Helen and Judith Brooke pride themselves on giving the bereaved help with all their needs during a difficult time, allowing them to plan the ideal bespoke funeral for their loved one.

George Brooke funeral directors work with families from all religious backgrounds and can cater to faith-specific needs, such as dedicated washing facilities for Hindu and Sikh families. They also have civil celebrants and humanist officiants for non-religious funeral services.

A chapel of rest is available for use at both the Dewsbury and Mirfield premises, as well as an area for holding funeral teas following ceremonies. George Brooke can also offer a hearse and three funeral vehicles for hire.

What Families Say

AI Summary

Many families describe receiving attentive, supportive care from the moment they first made contact, continuing through planning and the funeral day itself. Staff are frequently noted for combining professionalism with warmth, treating families as individuals rather than simply processing arrangements. Several families mention specific staff members by name, highlighting how particular individuals went beyond standard service to provide genuine reassurance during a difficult period.

Communication and guidance recur throughout the reviews, with many families emphasising how thoroughly they were kept informed at each stage and how patiently their questions were answered. A number of families note that nothing felt like too much trouble, whether organising specific requests, liaising with external services, or adjusting plans to accommodate family wishes.

On the funeral day itself, families consistently report that arrangements ran smoothly and with dignity, with staff handling both the practical organisation and the emotional aspects of the service. Many describe feeling supported and at ease, even amid their grief, and several mention staff creating small personalised touches that reflected their loved one's life.

    The family cannot thank George Brooke's staff enough for the kind, thoughtful effort made for the care of our mum. The funeral was organised with the help and understanding of all the staff and no task was too difficult for them to assist us with. Everything was perfect for our mum's final goodbye and we would like to thank you all so much for making the hardest time of our lives more bearable. Your staff have been a tremendous help from start to finish, always on the end of a phone when needed with advice and ideas to guide us, so a massive thank you to everyone.

    We were so pleased with the service we received from George Brooke Funeral Directors for dad’s funeral; everything was arranged down to the last detail and we were fully involved in the decisions that were taken and were kept informed at every stage; it was such a comfort for us that everything was taken care of on our behalf, without us having to worry too much about the process.
    On the day, everything went perfectly thanks to Judith and her team, who treated us with compassion and professionalism throughout.
    Thankyou to everyone at George Brooke’s for your excellent service.

  • 5 Sarah Lalousis 5th Jul 2026

    My dad had pre-planned his funeral, and although it was a conversation we never really wanted to have, once we found the paperwork everything was so straightforward. From our very first meeting, everyone was kind, compassionate and professional.

    They have such a lovely balance of being caring without being overbearing, which made such a difficult time that little bit easier for our family. Nothing was too much trouble, and every detail was handled with dignity and respect.

    They gave my dad the most wonderful send-off, and for that we will always be grateful. Thank you all so much.

  • 5 Angela Cheshire 14th Jun 2026

    Excellent service all round. Jess,  the funeral director was understanding and explained everything. The service was lovely with special touches such as Leeds United badge on the screens in the crematorium which I was not aware of . Its little things like that that made the day a little bit easier. All the staff were I came across or spoke with were really friendly, caring and helpful. Thank you 

  • 5 Warren Oates 13th Jun 2026

    The service on the day of my mother's funeral was excellent and it could not have gone any better. However, a couple of the phone calls from the office left me worried there would be no food provided. The receptionist asked if we'd contacted the venue for the wake when they just wanted to check we were happy with the allocated room. A very minor detail, but something they need to be aware of.

  • 5 Emma Louise Riley 8th Jun 2026

    Fantastic service from start to finish thankyou
