Incredible attention to detail  Very respectful, thorough and very friendly  Outstanding professionalism  I dealt with Helen who is probably one of the most professional people I’ve ever come across  All of the stress was taken away 

Christine Martindale 11th Jul 2022

Fabulous personalised service as always from Helen and the team at George Brooke. A real family funeral directors run by a family for families in the area. We have used their services for over 20 years and wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else. Nothing too much trouble, mum had wanted a horse to be present at her funeral and she had grown up with them as a child.  I thought it was perhaps not possible, but Helen and the team made it happen. Thanks as always Chrissie, Leon and family.

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 Emma Wilkinson 10th Jun 2022

    From the moment this nightmare begun there were no doubts in mind who would be trusted to take care of our lovely dad. 
    The professional, empathic, caring staff at George Brooke took hold of control from the very first call.
    Not only did they care from our dad but they also guided us as a family and did everything in their power to ensure things were right and as we wished. 
    Every aspect of this journey has been made a little lighter the bare knowing that dad was cared for every step of the way and the funeral arrangements were fulfilled to every detail.
    On behalf of my family and I, I would like to thank each and every one of you.

    Dad certainly got the send of deserved and that itself makes today a little brighter .
    Thank you x

  • 5 Richard Taylor 30th May 2022

    George Brookes are second to none, from the first phone call to the last they are there for you, nothing is too much trouble. Each member of staff we have dealt with have been wonderful, supportive, friendly and professional. They made our Dad look so peaceful, just as if he was sleeping. The funeral went smoothly with great care and consideration, Judith you were so lovely with Stuart when he was losing it outside the Crematorium and with me when I couldn't leave Dads coffin. To Helen, Judith, Dee, Elisha and all the other members of staff we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for looking after our Dad and enabling us to give him the best send off possible. P. S. thank you for your patience with me, I know I wore the doorstep off!
