Helen and her team have been amazing - we couldn’t have asked for a more sympathetic and caring service. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Michele Cromack 20th Jan 2022

Helen was our funeral director and she made an awful time much easier. She never made us feel rushed and guided us to the service that we wanted. Her attention to detail was second to none and the everything was exactly as we had requested. We were even phoned a couple of days after the funeral to make sure we were ok.

Eileen Laramee 19th Jan 2022

Thank you Helen for your time (Xmas Eve) your kindness, professionalism and your dedication to every detail from the start of our journey and ongoing xx

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.
