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.

    From the start I felt we were in capable hands. Helen is a wonderful person. She knows exactly what to say and is very empathetic. At the most distressing point in anyone’s life she is an absolute force of nature and she made everything so easy. As did all the staff I dealt with…..Dee, Elisha and all the team. They are superb at their jobs and so kind and patient. 
    I cannot thank you all enough for your hard work and dedication to giving my Dad the send off he deserved.

  • 5 Yvonne Armitage 23rd Oct 2022

    Helen, Dee, Kevin, Paul and the rest of the team at George Brooke could not have been more helpful or supportive right from first conr=tact with them until well after the funeral. They checked on us, gave lots of time to talk, listened patiently and helped with useful advice. I cannot recommend them highly enough. I know it might seem funeral directors are expected to be kind and supportive at these difficult times, but I believe that as a small family firm they went the extra mile to make my Dad's funeral memorable. Thanks to all the team.
