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 Karen Prest 24th Feb 2020

    From the moment I met Helen I knew my husband was in the safest of hands. Helen explained everything and also came up with more personnel suggestions when I was struggling, she is amazing. Also Christine the celebrant that Helen recommended was wonderful. Her attention to detail and they way the service was delivered, it was as though she knew my husband personally.
    Everyone at George Brookes were wonderful, so caring and supportive at this difficult time. The day was made a little easier knowing these people were looking after everything. Thank you all especially Helen for making the hardest of times a little easier. Words don't seem enough, a really big Thank You, Love Karen x x

  • 5 Mark Peter Cadman 21st Feb 2020

    Kirsty of George Brooke was very good, listening to what our Aunt’s requirements were and subsequently providing a smooth service from initial contact with bereaved family through to completion of the cremation. Ably supported by Reverend Lesley and the George Brooke ‘on site’ cremation team. Well done!

  • 5 Elaine Wilson 16th Feb 2020

    From the moment Judith met us we felt as ease, our thoughts on the arrangements were taken on board and suggestions from Judith helped us to make the service and day a true celebration of Robert's life, nothing was too much trouble, Judith even advised me of things I had no idea about communication with all the team was on a professional but not "stuffy" manner, Judith took care of all the family at the service and helped and guided us. I can not praise George Brooke's enough, thank you seems such an inadequate way of saying how we truly feel.

We could not have done it without their care and attention to detail. They have worked tirelessly to ensure that our mother’s wishes were carried out, and carried out so professionally. They, and Helen in particular, made such a difference for the all our family and friends. Thank you.
