    First class attention from start to finish. A big thank you to Helen and her team for excellent care - and attention to detail throughout. 

  • 5 Ronald Murray 29th Oct 2021

    We have used George Brooks in the past and will use them in the future.
    Always very professional, very experienced, very courteous, very thoughtful and very honest.

    I can't recommend them highly enough

  • 5 Mary Morley 26th Oct 2021

    The service I received was excellent. Everyone was very efficient, caring and supportive , whilst still being  sympathetic.  
    They understand what a stressful time it is and try to ensure that the decisions you make are not rushed and the right ones for you and your loved one, occasionally suggesting things I had not thought about, but was grateful for the suggestion. 
    Nothing seemed too much trouble for them.
    I could not have asked for more.
    I would like to thank Judith and all the staff I dealt with. They were all very professional and caring, and  I really appreciated it at such a difficult time.

    Kind regards 
    Mary Morley

    They were very understanding about problems my son was having, when trying to get back into England for his father's funeral.

    I was kept fully updated on everything that was happening. All staff were very helpful and pleasant when contacted. I wasn't pushed to purchase anything I did not want. They also took a lot of pressure off me and arranged the flowers and venue for the funeral buffet.

  • 5 Tiffany North 25th Oct 2021

    The team at George Brooke were fantastic, everyone I dealt with was polite, helpful, kind and sympathetic. They made an awful situation as easy as possible to sort out, and were always happy to answer any questions, whether sensible or not. 
    Having never organised a funeral before, it felt very daunting, but Helen and the team helped me through the process each step of the way, gently and kindly, respecting our particular needs as we went. 
    My grandad insisted we use George Brookes for his funeral……now I know why, we cannot praise them enough for a professional approach, with kindness and care at the heart of everything they do.

  • 5 Bryan Gibson 22nd Oct 2021

    I cannot praise the service I received from George Brooke highly enough. From the first meeting with Helen who put everyone at ease and explained everything simply and took all the weight of the organisation away from me. The funeral service was efficiently run and an excellent send off for my wife. I would have no hesitation in recommending George Brooke to anyone.


  • 5 Joanna Sarah Wilkinson 22nd Oct 2021

  • 5 Brenda Mary Wright 20th Oct 2021

    The kindness and efficiency of all concerned was second to none and I could not have been in better hands. No single detail was overlooked and I was guided through each step I had to take.

  • 5 Jacqueline Bottomley 20th Oct 2021

    Helen was very supportive and helpfull in guiding me through the process of saying goodbye to my father.

  • 5 Emma Oldroyd 18th Oct 2021

    From the initial phone call 
    Helen and the staff at George Brooke have made the hardest time of our life so much easier to bare, 
    Helen took the time to explain everything to my children guiding them through every step of the way and I will never forget that, I feel the whole team have gone over and beyond. 
    Thank you

  • 5 Philippa Johnstone 6th Oct 2021

    From the moment you have to make that first phone call you know you're in safe hands. Every member of staff we dealt with was friendly, compassionate, respectful and professional. We were guided along every step of the arrangements that had to be made and could seek advice at any time. On the day of the funeral, Helen and her team were with us throughout, calmly steering us through and always on hand. I would fully recommend George Brooke Ltd to anyone - thanks to them our Mum's funeral day was a lovely, very fitting tribute that we shall always remember and be grateful for.

    Our family were helped every step of the way through this extremely distressing journey. The staff were extremely helpful and always very pleasant and ensured we got all the details we wanted just right. Judith, as always, gave the personal touch and led us seamlessly through the day itself.

  • 5 Helen McGrath 13th Sep 2021

    Helen, Judith, D and the whole team were nothing short of amazing following our tragic loss. Helen went above and beyond writing letters to my brothers children to explain in a way they could understand what had happened to daddy. 
    The whole of the McGrath family send our thanks to all at George Brooke.
