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

    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!

  • 5 Linda Barbara Taylor 13th May 2022

    excellent service from all staff during the process from Geoff been collected from hospital to the day of his cremation. myself and 3 daughters can't thank you enough for all your support during this sad time

  • 5 Steve Cooper 13th May 2022

    We have used George Brooke for all the funerals and the service from start to finish is professional, sympathetic, and most of respectful. Funerals are not something you plan regular and the moment you call with no idea the staff put you at ease and explain step by step what happens. 
    Yes their a business and make their money but not once do they hound you or talk money like some other directors. I and my sister honestly cannot thank them enough for giving my mother and father a superb send off and tribute. 
    It’s hard losing anybody but the staff here do all they can to help all the way through.

    Thank you to Judith and her team 

  • 5 Peter Stuart Shaw 12th May 2022

  • 5 Louise Jane Burrows 4th May 2022

    From the initial phone call, to the actual funeral and aftercare, I cannot praise George Brookes funeral service enough. Such a caring, compassionate group of professionals who helped us through my fathers funeral. They gently  guided our family through a very upsetting time, organising everything we requested and advising when we needed help. They made a very difficult time so much easier with their unfailing kindness and support. Judith and Helen were amazing, such kind, genuine, caring people. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We will be eternally grateful.

  • 5 Cheryl Williamson 3rd May 2022

    George Brooke's are amazing. Everything runs smoothly and it takes alot of pressure off you. We have lost quite a few people in our family and theres no questions asked, we would always use George Brooke's. All the staff are brilliant at what they do, and they certainly are the experts. I cannot thank them enough.
