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

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.

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.

  • 5 Denise Mitchell 24th Mar 2026

    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.
    I would not hesitate for one minute to recommend their services to anyone.

    Thank you so much
    Denise Mitchell
