We felt as if we knew her already.  Judith was so helpful in helping us with the service, flowers and a catering venue.  The quality of service from the rest of the team was so kind and courteous I would recommend George Brooke to anyone.  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.

  • 5 Elizabeth Pinder 16th Feb 2023

    George Brooke handled Dad’s funeral in 2020 and because we were so impressed they became the obvious choice for Mum’s funeral.
    Our initial meeting was with Helen Wilson who was able to guide us through the next steps with the right amount of warmth and professionalism. We felt instantly reassured that she understood our wishes as a family and she was both knowledgable and helpful when it came to making any decisions. Brooks complied with all our wishes allowing us as much or as little input as we wanted to give. We were very happy with everything on the day and would highly recommend George Brooke Funeral Directors Ltd. 

  • 5 Mavis Farnhill 14th Feb 2023

    Could not have been more professional, caring and compassionate. Nothing was too much trouble and every detail was thoroughly planned. We even got a call from Brooke’s the day after the funeral to check if we were all ok. Thank you so much for everything.

  • 5 Jane Gibbons 14th Feb 2023

    Impeccable service from George Brooke Ltd.  

    Our wishes were put into place better than we could have imagined for our beloved dad.  Led by Helen who has the incredible gifts of empathy, vision and leadership.  Throughout the the service every detail was attended to; one step ahead, guiding the mourners and her wonderful team with confidence and grace.  

    George Brooke Ltd efficiently liaised with Father Hird whose support, prayers and Requiem Mass at Holy Spirit Church will always remain treasured memories.

    I was so pleased with both the initial response to Mary's passing, Helen's visit was not only extremely proffesional but warm and friendly. She extracted the right amount of information from me so calmly, without hurting, on such a delicate task.
    The office staff, when I visited your premises, were both courteus and polite. Their telephone responses were clear and sympathetic .
    The funeral day went very smoothly with military like precision. Helen, again led the family and our friends with dignity and the right amount of firmness required at such a sad time.
    I thank every member of the staff for their quality of service. Thank you

    Helen, her sister and Jeff were wonderful and made what could have been a very difficult day as pleasant as possible.  My mother would have been very happy with her send-off.

  • 5 Paul Greenwood 17th Jan 2023

    Having regrettably used other funeral directors in the same year I cannot fault Brooke's professional approach and caring nature when dealing with the funeral of our relative..their utmost care with this situation remained paramount throughout and we felt totally involved in all aspects of the arrangements , even down to warnings about traffic building up on the day of the funeral. I can highly recommend them to anyone who would like to use a family run caring professional company thanks to all who were involved and continue to do so...cheers Jo :)

  • 5 Elsie King 10th Jan 2023
