The funeral on the day ran so smoothly and seamlessly we were proud of the send off we gave him.

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.

    Always receive a high standard of service from George Brooks. from initial meetings, communication throughout and aftercare once the funeral had taken place. All the staff have been amazing and so helpful. Helen Brook is so personable and professional.

  • 5 Martin Price 17th Feb 2025

    Organising a funeral is a very stressful time. Every aspect of the funeral for my dad organised by George Brooke went so smoothly. All staff members were attentive, helpful and considerate. Explaining all aspects of the process and outlining what could be arranged. At no time did I feel under pressure, instead there was always someone available to assist. I cannot fault the service they provided.

  • 5 Kerith Lodge 10th Feb 2025

    Helen was brilliant..well presented..courteous,caring and very sympathetic to our needs on such a very upsetting day .. can't thank her enough..

  • 5 Kimberley Bradshaw 4th Feb 2025

    From the first interaction, every part of the service we have received has been amazing. The sudden death of our young daughter has made this period incredibly hard, however Judith and all the staff at Brooke’s have been amazing. We didn’t have experience with funerals, but no question felt silly. They managed a high profile and big funeral absolutely effortlessly, making calls on our behalf. When we went to visit our little one in the chapel of rest, this was managed with complete empathy and professionalism, and we noticed the little touches: the inside of her coffin was purple, her favourite colour. We’d not had to ask for that. I would recommend George Brooke’s to everyone. The day of the funeral ran so smoothly, in a quiet and respectful manner. We could not have asked for anything more. Thank you again to Judith and the whole Brooke’s team. 

  • 5 Nigel Smith 2nd Feb 2025

  • 5 Dominic Scanlon 26th Jan 2025

  • 5 Paula Brown 20th Jan 2025

    A big thank you to everyone at George Brooke for making a horrible event as nice as it could be xx

  • 5 Joanne Gilbert 15th Jan 2025
