The team at George Brooke were fantastic, everyone I dealt with was polite, helpful, kind and sympathetic. They made an awful situation as easy as possible to sort out, and were always happy to answer any questions, whether sensible or not.  Having never organised a funeral before, it felt very daunting, but Helen and the team helped me through the process each step of the way, gently and kindly, respecting our particular needs as we went.  My grandad insisted we use George Brookes for his funeral……now I know why, we cannot praise them enough for a professional approach, with kindness and care at the heart of everything they do.

I cannot praise the service I received from George Brooke highly enough. From the first meeting with Helen who put everyone at ease and explained everything simply and took all the weight of the organisation away from me. The funeral service was efficiently run and an excellent send off for my wife. I would have no hesitation in recommending George Brooke to anyone.

Joanna Sarah Wilkinson 22nd Oct 2021

Excellent from start to finish. Made the whole process easier to deal with and took all the stress of organising the funeral. 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.

    From the moment you have to make that first phone call you know you're in safe hands. Every member of staff we dealt with was friendly, compassionate, respectful and professional. We were guided along every step of the arrangements that had to be made and could seek advice at any time. On the day of the funeral, Helen and her team were with us throughout, calmly steering us through and always on hand. I would fully recommend George Brooke Ltd to anyone - thanks to them our Mum's funeral day was a lovely, very fitting tribute that we shall always remember and be grateful for.
