Katy Gough 28th Mar 2017

Everyone at George Brooke's were fabulous, professional yet compassionate at such a sad time for us all.  Kirsty was fabulous, such a help, really got a feel for the sort of person our grandad was and planned the funeral to suit him and the family. Can't thank you all enough.

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 have used George Brookes for many years and have always been very pleased with everything they do.

I would certainly recommend their services without hesitation.

    A special thank you to Judith for all your help and guidance through this very traumatic time.
    Also a big thank you to the rest of the team for your help, and providing a first class and very professional service.

  • 5 Graham Moulson 2nd Feb 2017

    we thought the service was excellent very caring but professional
    the preparation was first class
    the order of service took a bit of getting right, but that would be our only criticism
    it also had a truly Christian feel which we valued
    the organisation on the day was also excellent making sure people were in right place and the children central to it all
    many thanks

  • 5 Julie Bruce 28th Jan 2017

  • 5 Marilyn Parkinson 7th Jan 2017

    Mum had told us what type of funeral she wanted. We talked to Kirsty who was so professional yet so kind and thoughtful. All Mum's wishes were incorporated with one or two superb additions. The care shown to us and the organisation on the day was so good. Every thing we thought we would need to do was sorted out for us and no worries what so ever. Such a sad time was made hassle free and the service was a beautiful goodbye to Mum. We cannot thank George Brooke staff enough

  • 5 Andrew Parkinson 3rd Jan 2017

    It is with great thanks to Helen for her patience, caring and understanding during this sad time. With her help and guidance we were able to celebrate our dear mums life knowing that George Brooke's staff team have taken care of everything. Having Helen there on the day of the funeral to support us all was very welcoming. 

    Many thanks to Helen and the staff team and George Brooke's... 

  • 5 Judith Newell 2nd Jan 2017

    I am so grateful to all involved at the George Brooke company for the sensitive, thoughtful and helpful way they supported us from the night my husband died at home, all the way through, and even to a telephone call on the evening following the funeral. We had contacted them because they were recommended by a friend of my daughter.

    Helen (née Brooke) came out to see us to discuss the funeral and explain things we needed to do in the meantime, giving us a very helpful company brochure which informed us of the 'tell us once service' through the Coroner's office, and prompts about things we had not considered. During the time until the funeral it was easy to contact them for help and advice. Helen led the funeral on the day, and her approach and manner put everyone at ease, particularly the children present.

    The ceremony was conducted by Martyn Beecham, who was recommended by the company. He visited us and encouraged us to talk about my husband, making notes and later preparing a draft for us to discuss. During the service he spoke about my husband as if he knew him, because he had understood the essence of Don and delivered exactly what we needed.

    I would recommend the George Brooke company to anyone, and I cannot thank them enough.

  • 5 Russell Todd 13th Dec 2016

    The unexpected death of my mother was the worst day of my life. The thoughts thereafter as to how we as a family were going to get through the funeral were simply unthinkable. George Brookes were recommended and I am so glad that we then met Helen. Her care, compassion, approach and understanding were a blessing to us. I breathed a sigh of relief when I knew mum was in her care and from then until the funeral, matters were dealt with by Helen and her colleagues in a compassionate and caring manner. Many thanks to you Helen and I wish you and your family all the best. Kindest Regards Russell
