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 SummaryMany 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.

I know George Brooke is no longer run by the family but it still gives the same careing and proffesional service as always. I was highly satisfied with my husbands funeral arrangements.
