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 Pauline Ormerod 16th Sep 2023

    Excellent service from start to finish of the process. They are very professional but also have the human touch which you need at the difficult time. They listen to what you would like and steer you in the right direction. They keep in touch up to the day of funeral and also follow up after. Would highly recommend. 

  • 5 Stuart Rushworth 15th Sep 2023

    Helen and the team were fabulous from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble and the attention to detail exemplary.
    They took all the stress out of the organisation of my uncle's service & burial and left family and friends time to celebrate a life well lived.

  • 5 Jacqui Smithson 4th Sep 2023

    From the first meeting with Helen, as a family we were made to feel completely at ease. Helen was so warm and caring and extremely thorough as she talked us through everything we needed to know.
    The follow up with Dee and the rest of the staff has been equally caring and professional. We have only high praise and can't thank you enough for making this really difficult time a little more bearable.
    Dorothy, Susie, Jacqui and Chris.

    George Brooke have taken care of both my Dads and now recently my Mums funerals. They are a lovely family organisation that are completely filled with love and compassion.
    I can't thank them enough for excellent service and care throughout both services. I would recommend they take care of your loved ones when the sad time comes without doubt.
    Thank you again for your excellent care.

  • 5 Denise Madden 2nd Sep 2023

    Helen and her team have always gone above and beyond when we have needed their services. Faultless as usual for Mum's funeral. Thank you guys.

  • 5 Fiona Hughes 21st Aug 2023

    It was Ruby's wish to enlist staff at George Brooke Ltd for her funeral as she had heard so many good things about Judith and Helen from my father, Trevor, who had assisted in many funerals in the past. Karen and Fiona would like to say a huge thank you to all the staff at George Brooke Ltd for the fantastic support that they have given us since Mum passed away. We have been looked after with great compassion by genuinely caring and sincere staff. Beforehand, and on the day itself, everything was extremely well organised and planned to the finest detail, resulting in a beautiful Thanksgiving Service for Ruby. A follow-up conversation from Reception on the following day was also lovely to receive. All our requirements were fulfilled, just as Mum would have wanted, and we would strongly recommend George Brooke Ltd to anyone who sadly loses a loved one in future and wants to lay them to rest in the knowledge that they will be looked after and in very good hands. 

  • 5 Belinda Knowles 21st Aug 2023
