George Brooke funeral directors were absolutely amazing. From our first meeting they were professional, careing, very supportive taking care of everything from the flower's to the order of service relieving us of stress during a time of immense grief. Their staff were respectful, kind and organised everything exactly as we requested. It was an absolutely wonderful service which went smoothly from start to finish thanks to the help of Jessica Thompson the funeral director and Julie Oram the celebrant. They went above and beyond to make the day so special and to give my dad Sydney Butcher the send off which he truly deserved.

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.

    Every step of the process was handled with respect, care and attention to every detail. I felt well supported throughout.

    Nothing was too much trouble for any member of staff I spoke to. Paul made sure everything was perfect.

    George Brooke has been our family's go-to funeral director over the past 43 years, I wouldn't consider any other.

    The team are professional, attentive and empathetic in their contact during what is a very distressing time and i cannot recommend them highly enough. Helping and guiding in every aspects of arranging this very individual and personal service from the very beginning. My family and I thank you all most sincerely

  • 5 Steven west 20th Feb 2026

    Judith, Helen and colleagues supported us through the funeral planning with empathy and compassion. We never felt pressured and were given space when needed and detailed advice when we needed to complete forms or do something ourselves. They made the whole process as straightforward as possible and it was a comfort knowing they were managing the process on our behalf. Sourcing third parties (celebrant, stone mason etc), what they needed from the registrar and liaising with Kirklees for the ashes internment was all taken care of on our behalf. I can't thank or praise them highly enough for guiding us through the funeral from first contact to ashes internment. 

  • 5 Hilary Bayton 17th Feb 2026

    The whole team are so friendly and kind. The care and support of Helen and Judith made this sad time so much more bearable. Their attention to detail and local knowledge helped us to have a very personal funeral.

  • 5 James Martin Lindley 3rd Feb 2026

    We couldn’t have asked for a more thoughtful and well-organised service for my dad. From the very start, the communication was clear, compassionate, and reassuring, which made a difficult time so much easier to manage.

    Chris at George Brooke’s was professional, kind, and attentive throughout, ensuring everything ran smoothly and exactly as we’d hoped.

    Our celebrant, Nikki Lodge-Frear, delivered a truly meaningful and personal service that captured my dad perfectly. Her care and sensitivity meant so much to our family.

    We would highly recommend
    George Brooke’s funeral services and Nikki Lodge-Frear as a Celebrant, to anyone needing supportive, dignified, and thoughtful funeral care.

  • 5 Andrew Clough 3rd Feb 2026

    A very special funeral and very well organised by George Brooke can’t thank them enough
