Received the best care possible for Jonny.  Nothing was too much trouble.  All staff where very helpful.  Martin Jones gave a fantastic service and someone who attended to support her partner said she felt that she had known Jonny for years after the service.  Becky couldn’t do enough to help she is a credit to George Brooke’s Thank you Judith and staff..

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 Diane Reynard 14th Jan 2020

    Unfortunately my husbands funeral was not straight forward as he passed away 5500 miles away. George Brookes were so supportive and compassionate from beginning to end.
    The funeral itself our family can not thank them enough. Judith on such a difficult day was so supportive.

  • 5 Debbie Bailey 24th Dec 2019

    I can not thank the team enough. From the moment we chose them they were in regular contact and kept us fully informed all the way.

    My mum looked beautiful when we went to see her and for that I am truly grateful.

    The service we received was top class and I would recommend to anyone.

  • 5 Amanda Jane Curley 9th Dec 2019

    From the very 1st phone call on Saturday 16th November until our drop off to celebrate Seans life the service was outstanding. The 2 gentlemen who came to collect Sean were respectful and caring,they really looked after Sean. Helen was amazing when she came to visit us,even though it was the hardest thing we had to do she made us laugh,put us at ease and made it perfectly clear that nothing was too much trouble. The ladies at the other end of the phone(i apologise for forgetting their names) answered all our enquiries and changes to things so calmly,politely nothing was too much trouble and believe me we rang regularly.When we went to see Sean they were so respectful even offering to take us through which i did take up on.The day of Seans funeral ran so smoothly,and Helen followed through with all her promises,I didnt want crowding she made sure i wasnt,everything was perfect and it was all down to Helen and all the caring staff. At one of the most difficult times in our lives George Brookes delivered everything and more and i personally recommend them. Amanda Curley 9/12/2019

    Very professional, compassionate service from the initial meeting to completion. The celebrant was exceptional with his attention to detail and considered delivery of the service. Every request was carried out with the utmost care and I received confirmation of every step completed. I can highly recommend Judith and her exceptional team. Thankyou

  • 5 Claire Elizabeth Broadhead 2nd Dec 2019

  • 5 Helen Louise Inness 27th Nov 2019

    At a very stressful time Helen and the rest of the team were supportive and helpful every step of the way and if there were any questions they were answered promptly. They provided a beautiful service for a lovely man that definitely did him justice. Can’t thank them enough for making what was one of the worst days of my life easier.

  • 5 Mark Lister 24th Nov 2019

    Excellent service from start to finish, family run firm who are very professional and compassionate, I would definitely recommend them to anyone going through this very difficult time.

  • 5 Paul Halstead 24th Nov 2019

    Thoughtful and efficient, they took a lot of the pressure and worry from the family.

  • 5 Karen Wood 23rd Nov 2019

    Helen and the staff at George Brooke made the sad experience much nicer and were there to help and advise on anything I needed to ask. It’s a difficult time and your mind is on everything and you don’t always take everything in at first so it was nice to be able to discuss things as they became important. The service was very nice and the florist they recommended provided lovely flowers. 

  • 5 Beverley Allerton 23rd Nov 2019

    Good and friendly people very supportive and helpful

  • 5 Teresa Maiden 19th Nov 2019

    At all times they were supportive and caring, leading me gently through all the things that needed to be done. On the day of  the funeral they were present unobtrusively to take care of everything and everybody. They could not have done more. 

  • 5 Gerald Pattinson 15th Nov 2019

    Excellent service from you from start to finish going the extra mile
    Many thanks
