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.

    George Brooke Ltd showed great care and attention to detail; professional, supportive, friendly and practical. Particularly appreciated because of the restrictions due to Covid-19.

  • 5 Debbie House 19th Oct 2020

    Very professional and empathic during a very difficult time. Judith gave us time to talk about our beloved mum and ensured that all our wishes and funeral requirements were met. We weren’t rushed into making any quick decisions; we could really ‘think’ about what was right. 
    Funeral numbers were limited due to restrictions caused by the Coronavirus pandemic, but there were certainly no limitations on how Judith and the team at Brooke’s assisted us. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you 🙏 
    Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • 5 Carol Anne Thewliss 8th Sep 2020

    I have organised two funerals with George Brooke; the first for my father 18 years ago and very recently for my husband. On each occasion, George Brooke were extremely helpful, friendly and treated us with the utmost dignity and respect. The funerals were seamless and carried out to perfection. Even though funerals are very sad occasions, Judith at George Brooke communicates with just the right amount of humour to keep your spirits up when you need it most but always with the utmost respect as to your loss - a perfect balance.
