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.

    We would like to thank the whole team at George Brookes — Jess, Sarah, Helen, and others whose names we didn’t get to know. They all made a difficult period feel as easy as possible, and guided us through the process, combining professionalism with friendliness and just the right touch of humour. From start to finish, they struck the perfect balance. We would wholeheartedly recommend George Brookes for their family-focused approach and the excellent service they provide to the local community.

    Absolutely fantastic from start to finish, they gave my Dad the dignified send off he deserved. They’re all fantastic at what they do, especially Judith, putting us all at ease and making us feel comfortable. Everything went smoothly and as a family we can’t thank them all enough. The girls in the office were fantastic, so efficient, nothing was too much for them and any problems were solved straight away. I can’t recommend them enough.

    During one of the most difficult times our lives, Helen, Judith and team were phenomenal. The care and attention to detail, the guidance and support and the way they looked after us from the first initial phone call to the advice regarding choosing a special urn for the ashes - we will never forget the kindness and compassion shown. We would highly recommend Helen, Judith and the team x
