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 KEELEY ODDY 18th Apr 2023

    I honestly cannot put into words how grateful I am to all at George Brooke’s for what they have done for me and my family after the sudden passing of my husband Mark who was taken far to soon. Their service is outstanding, from the moment they got the call they have looked after Mark me and our children as though we are their own family and have made such a horrible time easier for us, nothing is ever too much of an ask they looked after our wellbeing as well as Marks and kept us all safe, this I feel was done with not only professionalism but also with so much love and respect for us. His service was perfect every single detail was thought of by them and I have had so many messages and comments saying that Marks was the nicest celebration of life they had ever been to ever, and this was all down to you guys. You gave Mark exactly what he wanted and us too. Thankyou for everything love the Oddys xxx

    We cannot speak highly enough about the service from Helen and the staff at George Brook. They were kind and caring in everything they did for us, nothing was too much trouble and everything was done to perfection. Helen got us through such a terribly
