As a family we can’t thank George Brookes and Helen enough. Helen was very supportive from start to finish, she made the hardest time of our lives a little more bearable. The support she showed was so much appreciated and as a family helped us so much. 

Patricia Simkin 12th Nov 2024

Fantastic service from the whole team, they really looked after my mum at a difficult time.  Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. 

Dominique Lendhill 5th Nov 2024

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.

    I want to express my sincere gratitude to Judi and the entire team at George Brooke's for the exceptional care and support they provided during the recent funeral of my husband Brian Ashton.

    From the initial meeting to the final arrangements, your team demonstrated the utmost compassion, professionalism, and understanding. Your guidance through the difficult process was invaluable, and your attention to detail ensured everything went smoothly.

    Our family was particularly impressed by the personalised touches for the funeral and the sensitivity and patience shown during a particularly challenging time.

    We highly recommend George Brooke's to anyone in need of funeral services. Your commitment to honouring Brian's memory will never be forgotten.

    Thank you again for your compassionate and professional service.

    Sincerely,
    Beverley Ashton and family xx

    The staff at George Brooke’s are all excellent, their attention to detail in second to none. They all work together to give amazing service. Helen was so supportive and nothing was too much trouble. Professional, experienced and caring it is rare for an individual or indeed a service to have all these qualities. Thank you so much for expert guidance and care.

  • 5 Matthew Thurlow 21st Sep 2024

    Everybody that we dealt with from George Brooke’s was amazing. I phoned up initially and spoke with somebody who was so considerate of our situation and understanding. Then Judith came to visit us at home and we really felt immediately comfortable with her and at ease. She talked with us like she was one of the family and that was lovely.
    On the day everything was so professional, everyone was so kind, Judith looked fabulous but told my daughter she looked better 😍
    Behind the scenes and over the phone, Dee dealt with us and was equally caring and considerate.every time we spoke.
    Thank you all so much 

  • 5 Andrew Halliley 21st Sep 2024

    Fantastic service.  Would highly recommend 

  • 5 Alan Finnemore 20th Sep 2024

    Excellent service from start to finish thank you. Judith and staff

  • 5 Ian Christopher Rose 19th Sep 2024

    Dealing with Helen and the team was made easy by their professionalism, tone and manner with which they handled both face to face and on telephone calls.

    The whole organisation of the event was just right and the recommendations made to involve the celebrant Paul Simpson and have the wake at the Black Horse Clifton couldn't have been better. The feedback from everyone who attended was that it was pitched perfect and did our dad proud.

  • 5 Beverley Longfield 9th Sep 2024

    Made a very sad perfect 

  • 5 Simon Haigh 8th Sep 2024

    A most attentive, supportive and professional service from Judith and all of her team at George Brooke. Kept us updated on all stages of arrangements, at what was a most stressful and emotional time. Their nominated Reverend Helen Butler delivered a lovely service for my Mum, that was well received by all. I would recommend George Brooke's services without reservation. Many thanks

  • 5 Richard Gibson 7th Sep 2024

    Brookes were recommended to me and I can see why. First class from start to finish and made a difficult process much easier. They are less like a business more a local institution. Everyone I speak to who has dealt with them have nothing but positive words to say! Thank you!
