Everything went according to plan and was well communicated. Staff were friendly and helpful. The service was good and Neil the vicar was lovely too. Hoping mum’s grave doesn’t get vandalised as do many have been xx

Justine Brady 18th Sep 2022

Thank goodness its the first time I have had to arrange a funeral and as I am getting older it would be wonderful if I could book you for mine .... when it comes.!! Sadly though, you would have to travel over to Cheshire to do that... You were amazing and no words can express how grateful we were for all your help and attention to detail and keeping us calm on the day.

Andrew Bailey 16th Sep 2022

Excellent service from start to finish. The attention to deal was impeccable and they handled all our requests with the up most dignity at this most upsetting time with the loss of my Mum. This is the second time we have used George Brooke’s as they provide a 1st class service. All the staff are lovely to deal with. Thank you so much Andrew

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.

  • 5 Jo Jarman 10th Sep 2022

    We decided to go with George Brooke after my sister passed away. This was an easy choice as we used them after my dad passed away 15 years ago. Judith came out to our house, and is always so down to earth and comforting. My children said they felt so at ease with her. They were so helpful and nothing was too much. They go above and beyond. The day of the funeral went really well. I want to thank everyone, especially Judith, for their compassion, professionalism and dedication to arranging my sister's funeral.

    George Brooke Ltd were outstanding from start to finish. Every detail was taken care of and the family could focus on saying farewell to our loved one. Every member of the team played a part and I want to thank them all for their professional and sympathetic dealings with us. Obbviously, I would like to extend a particular thank-you to Helen who being a childhood friend, took the reigns for my Fathers' funeral.
