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.

    Respect and courtesy throughout! From the minute I phoned them to after the funeral service I felt supported and guided by George Brooke’s funeral directors. My family and I all received a beautiful service after my mum’s passing. From advice with flowers and tributes to the perfect music we were able to celebrate my mum’s life in a way she could be proud of! 

  • 5 Ron Walker 29th Mar 2025

    We have used George Brookes several time recently and they have always provided a wonderful service. All their staff are very courteous, providing the smoothest, and most seamless service, in what is a very upsetting time. Everything they do, they do to the highest of standards to make the lives of grieving family as easy as possible.

  • 5 Karen Ellis 29th Mar 2025
