Samantha Atkinson 21st Dec 2024

My family have used George Brooks for years and it was my mothers wish that we should use them too. Everything was so organised and professional, but all the staff are very helpful, kind and considerate and very patient too. Nothing was too much trouble and every step of the way they were there to assist myself and my family with the arrangements to make sure that my mother had a wonderful funeral. Helen and her family are amazing and always go above and beyond. Everything was made so personable and myself and my family cannot thank Helen and her team enough. My mum would have been so grateful too Thank you Samantha xxx

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.

    We have used George Brookes several times now. They’ve just looked after my Dad’s funeral & are second to none. They literally carry the family through what is the most difficult time. They organise everything with great precision, kindness & attention to detail. They make sure the whole plan runs smoothly, like clockwork. 
    Thank you so much Helen & the team for taking care of every detail with such professionalism.

  • 5 Sallie Sturch 8th Dec 2024

    Helen, Dee and Team have supported us from the moment my mum was taken suddenly into end of life care in Northumbria. They understood that I wanted to get my Mum back to Yorkshire ASAP, and swiftly fulfilled on this. As this is the first funeral I had to arrange, Helen and Team helped us through every step of the process, offering guidance and empathy along the way. Many of the funeral guests commented on how lovely the service was, and I do agree it’s the closest we could have got to accurately representing her wonderful life. Many Thanks to all the team, Sallie and John Sturch

    Helen was a tower of strength to us as we sorted out mum’s funeral arrangements. She responded promptly to messages and emails and kept us informed at every stage. Helen’s expertise was evident as she cheerfully encouraged us in the tasks we had to do.

    I couldn’t recommend George Brooke’s enough. They are so understanding and thoughtful in your time of need. My father has recently passed, and I felt much more at ease with their guidance, organisation and support throughout the entire service and build up to. I cannot thank them enough for all of their help and support. I hope I won’t need to any time soon, but i would definitely return if needed.

    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.
