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.

    Helen, her sister and Jeff were wonderful and made what could have been a very difficult day as pleasant as possible.  My mother would have been very happy with her send-off.

  • 5 Paul Greenwood 17th Jan 2023

    Having regrettably used other funeral directors in the same year I cannot fault Brooke's professional approach and caring nature when dealing with the funeral of our relative..their utmost care with this situation remained paramount throughout and we felt totally involved in all aspects of the arrangements , even down to warnings about traffic building up on the day of the funeral. I can highly recommend them to anyone who would like to use a family run caring professional company thanks to all who were involved and continue to do so...cheers Jo :)

  • 5 Elsie King 10th Jan 2023

  • 5 Linda Smith 10th Jan 2023

    Helen and the team at George Brooks are amazing and were professional at what they did for my mum's funeral. Service was really amazing and went really well.

  • 5 Gilly King 3rd Jan 2023

    My dad passed away suddenly at home aged 63 years, it was George Brookes who had done my grandma's funeral many years ago therefore it was a no brainer to ask them to take care of my dad. From the get go, all the staff went above and beyond to care for my dad and my family. Nothing was too much trouble. My dad was in their care for 29 days, and I honestly couldn't have asked for better care. I felt he was safe and well looked after. I would ask how my dad was doing, and they would go and talk to him for me, which sounds really daft but it was the most reassuring thing. Staff were attentive, communicated when needed and so reassuring. They kindly sorted all the venue and catering for after the funeral, and the caterer was really good and reasonably priced. Lavender Hill did our flowers, and they were beautiful. I cannot thank Judith, Helen and all the team for providing care for my dad, and treating him like their family member and helping us throughout this traumatic time. Words cannot ...  describe how grateful we are, and how wonderful each and every staff member is. Thank you for all your support and kindness, we are eternally grateful for the gold standard of care you provided. Thanks again, Gilly King (daughter) more
