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 Sallie Sturch 8th Dec 2024

    Helen, Dee and Team have supported us from the moment my mum was taken suddenly into end of life care in Northumbria. They understood that I wanted to get my Mum back to Yorkshire ASAP, and swiftly fulfilled on this. As this is the first funeral I had to arrange, Helen and Team helped us through every step of the process, offering guidance and empathy along the way. Many of the funeral guests commented on how lovely the service was, and I do agree it’s the closest we could have got to accurately representing her wonderful life. Many Thanks to all the team, Sallie and John Sturch
