In the turmoil of planning a family funeral, we felt safe in hands of this established family business. 

SARAH HOLBROOK 17th Feb 2021

There's never a conversation about who we're going to use for our family funerals because we always use George Brooke. You can always trust they've got everything covered and they never let you down. A big thank you to Helen and the team for being with us every step of the way for our Auntie's funeral.

Throughtful, compassionate, caring and a great help during our grieving, thank-you

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.

    My family and I chose George Brooke's for my mum's funeral because of the wonderful care they gave her when my sister died.

    From our first phone call to them, to the funeral on the day they are very professional and so caring in every way. They were always there with an answer to every call we made even if it was a silly question (thank you Clare)

    Helen and her team made the day go smoothly despite the snow and mum would have laugh that her final journey was on the motorway
