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.

    Can't stress enough, what an excellent service was given by George Brookes for my fathers funeral. Helen, was understanding and caring from the word go.

    Her professionalism throughout was noted by several people, not just from the family who had to organise the funeral. The people who work in their office were very understanding and lovely to deal with.

    Would highly recommend using them. Will definitely be using again, though hopefully not in the near future.

    Helen from day one on our initial meeting all the way through to Georgia Day , you showed true empathy, dignity and respect to my baby girl to which i can never thank you enough 
    The service was impeccable the standard of service was out of this world 
    You listened and respected us a grieving family and gave your time and patience throughout.
    You definitely ensured Georgia was -
