excellent service from all staff during the process from Geoff been collected from hospital to the day of his cremation. myself and 3 daughters can't thank you enough for all your support during this sad time

Steve Cooper 13th May 2022

We have used George Brooke for all the funerals and the service from start to finish is professional, sympathetic, and most of respectful. Funerals are not something you plan regular and the moment you call with no idea the staff put you at ease and explain step by step what happens.  Yes their a business and make their money but not once do they hound you or talk money like some other directors. I and my sister honestly cannot thank them enough for giving my mother and father a superb send off and tribute.  It’s hard losing anybody but the staff here do all they can to help all the way through. Thank you to Judith and her team 

Peter Stuart Shaw 12th May 2022

Very professional service, with a friendly and down to earth approach. Brookes steered our family through what is a difficult time, thank you

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 Louise Jane Burrows 4th May 2022

    From the initial phone call, to the actual funeral and aftercare, I cannot praise George Brookes funeral service enough. Such a caring, compassionate group of professionals who helped us through my fathers funeral. They gently  guided our family through a very upsetting time, organising everything we requested and advising when we needed help. They made a very difficult time so much easier with their unfailing kindness and support. Judith and Helen were amazing, such kind, genuine, caring people. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We will be eternally grateful.

I cannot thank them enough.

    George Brooke’s have been the only funeral directors our family has turned to for the past sixty or seventy years. When there is a death in the family it is comforting to know that you are dealing with a family business and the service they provide is personal and first class.
