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 Anne DYRLAGA 1st Apr 2018

    Right from the first phone call to Brookes, at 1a.m. until the last part of dad's funeral, we were impressed by their efficiency and professionalism. Judith Brooke helped us to plan everything in great detail, incorporating our own particular wishes. She was friendly and approachable. The whole day went exactly to plan. Throughout the time leading up to the funeral we were kept up to date with the preparations by email and phone calls. We especially liked being able to drop into the office on several occasions to just ask something. Nothing was too much trouble and we were always treated with respect. Definitely 5*

  • 5 David Sheard 17th Nov 2017

    This is the third occasion that George Brooke Ltd have arranged funerals for my family. They have been consistently professional, helpful and considerate to our needs. From prompt attendance to discuss the initial arrangements, through to helpful advice and liaison with other agencies on our behalf, Helen, Judith and all the staff have inspired confidence and gone out of their way to ensure that proceedings ran smoothly.

    I would have no hesitation in using their services again, and recommend them most sincerely.
