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.

    Helen and her team looked after my aunt with great care and respect. They were excellent communicators and everything was absolutely clear, from the prices to the procedures on the day. Their professionalism made a difficult time much easier and they took away much of the stress that funerals can cause. Highly recommended, in every way.

    Professional, and totally reliable. Nothing was too much trouble. Brookes have carried out funerals for a few of my relatives and each one has gone like clockwork. Cannot fault them.

    Very professional services

  • 5 Carol Brown 21st Mar 2022

    Can't stress enough, what an excellent service was given by George Brookes for my fathers funeral. Helen, was understanding and caring from the word go.

    Her professionalism throughout was noted by several people, not just from the family who had to organise the funeral. The people who work in their office were very understanding and lovely to deal with.

    Would highly recommend using them. Will definitely be using again, though hopefully not in the near future.

  • 5 Debbie Bailey 18th Mar 2022

    I would never use anyone else. They have taken care of both my mum and dad's funerals over the last couple of years and both have been fantastic.
    The service is professional from start to finish but with such a down to earth and real feel.
    Thank you so much to Dee and Judith for everything.

    I never thought I would ever after to ask George Brooke to implement a funeral for my daughter Georgia May 
    Helen was absolutely amazing to which made this transition glide with ease
     Georgia was only 26 years old and they ensured that Georgia received the highest quality of care 
    Dignity was maintained from collecting Georgia to preparing her to meet her mum again 
    Helen she looked beautiful 
    Helen from day one on our initial meeting all the way through to Georgia Day , you showed true empathy, dignity and respect to my baby girl to which i can never thank you enough 
    The service was impeccable the standard of service was out of this world 
    You listened and respected us a grieving family and gave your time and patience throughout.
    You definitely ensured Georgia was - 
    Lights camera action !
    She will be dancing in the sky and singing in the Angels choir
    Also i would like to express reception staff especially Dee was amazing she gave reassurance throughout and totally understand
    Clear communication to which i could understand and digest 
    I would definitely recommend
    George Brooke to anyone who was seeking a service
