Fantastic, caring and lovely people.. They make what is a really bad upsetting time so much easier. I can understand why my mom always used and recommend them ... Thank you so much xxx

Stephen Cartwright 15th Jul 2020

George Brookes was the only decent service we received during this 2 years of Janice's cancer battle. As they know our family we wanted them to be with her for her final journey knowing full well she'd finally get the dignity and treatment she deserved and Helen and her team fulfilled this to a fantastic standard. We can not thank them enough for the help and support we have had from George Brookes

Joanne Floyd 13th Jul 2020

We received a very personal service from start to finish that was first class. They made everything very easy for us and every member of staff that we spoke with and met were all so professional and really lovely. A very compassionate and caring family business.

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.

    Staff were polite, understanding, supportive and very appropriate in their organisation of my late aunt's funeral. The team managed to navigate continuously changing guidance (Covid-19 restrictions) and provide an excellent service. Very impressed with others recommended by George Brooke too, the reverend was very supportive and professional. The flowers were just wonderful.

  • 5 Trevor Dunford 8th Jun 2020

    George  Brook Ltd offered really good service in arranging my mum’s funeral. All the Staff were very efficient & really went the extra mile to make everything go as smoothly as possible during these really difficult times.

    We have always used them for our family funerals for as long as I can remember (I’m in my seventies) & have always been provided with first rate arrangements. 

    They are a family run business & a pleasure to deal with in what is of course a hard time for the bereaved. I would recommend them to anyone.
