Brookes arranged everything from start to finish from the catering, to the venue, to the flowers, everything. Nothing was too much trouble. It was all first class and we couldn't have done it without you. Thank you for being part of my Dad's last leg of his journey, you really did do him justice. So thank you once again for all your help and for making Dad's day so special.

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.

    What a beautiful job George Brooke’s team did for our Mums funeral. 
    They couldn’t have been more helpful or considerate. 
    We as a family thank Helen and the team for their professional and friendly approach. 
    We certainly felt that we were in good hands from the start and are so pleased that we chose your company. 
    Thank you. 🙏 

  • 5 Rachel Heaps 3rd Nov 2025

    Excellent. Both efficient and very compassionate from start to finish. Felt particulary cheered at an otherwise sad time by Judith, who was like a good friend during both the planning and on the day. All staff I had contact with were respectful and caring over the phone, at Brooke's and at the Chapel of Rest. Would definately recommend them as a service in the sad business of the loss of a loved one.

  • 5 Anthony Byram 1st Nov 2025

    From the first phone call to the playing of a very special piece of music at the end of our mum's service Helen and her amazing team guided us with compassion, kindness and care. They were always at the end of the phone to answer our questions and enabled us to provide a beautiful service for our much loved mum. We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

  • 5 Deborah Grace 29th Sep 2025

    I can't praise Chris and the staff at George Brookes enough for the kindness, caring and professional way they supported us throughout our mum's funeral.
    Nothing was too much trouble and our mum got exactly the send off we wished for. Every small detail was thought of from the rainbows on the screens in crematorium to them offering to take mum's carers and friends from her care home to the funeral.
    Thank you so much

  • 5 Andrew Peace 28th Sep 2025

    Unfortunately we have had to use George Brooks twice within a year for both of our parents. 

    Ok both occasions both Helen and Judith and the entire team were nothing but kind, sympathetic, respectful and utterly professional. 

    To lose a parent is devastating, George Brooks organize take away the pain and stress that you face at that time. We are utterly grateful and thankful for their help and guidance. 

    Thank you. 

    Andrew and Susan. 

  • 5 Belinda Javkson 26th Sep 2025

    At a time when you feel numb and distraught - Helen and the team took all the problems and organisation away.   Ensuring in a gentle way that we got what we wanted for the final goodbye, without having to do any of the arrangements ourselves.   A wonderful caring service i would recommend to everyone at such a sensitive time

  • 5 Geoffrey Swain 9th Sep 2025

    Helen Wilson was absolutely magnificent in the way she handled the immediate family on the day of the funeral which made a potentially emotional situation much easier to deal with.

     I will never forget the casual way we all walked to the graveside and back after the interment inspired by Helen. 

    The girls in the office were very efficient and treated us with sensitivity.

    George Brooke have a long history of arranging funerals in a highly satisfactory way and it is reassuring to know that both Helen and Judith have very much followed in the footsteps of their father, George Brooke, who was a past master at putting the bereaved at their ease. 

  • 5 Maureen Bates 8th Sep 2025

    Thank you so much Helen for making a very difficult day into a calm, warm and peaceful service. 
    I would definitely recommend George Brooks. 
    Thank you again
