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.

    Helen and Judith are true professionals, they almost take the pain away. After losing someone you love it’s hard to know which direction to turn, but Helen took it all in hand and made sure we understood every step of arranging the funeral and what other things needed sorting. I wouldn’t consider using anyone else but George Brooke Ltd in the future. Thank you all xx💕

  • 5 Alison Housecroft 15th Nov 2021

    Mum's funeral was a day we never wanted to contemplate happening, but it did, and we are so glad we chose George Brooke Ltd. Their care of mum and us as a family was second to non, they were exceptional. The whole team were so supportive, caring, understanding and professional, nothing was too much trouble for them and we did make quite a few last minute decisions/changes to get things just right for mum. To be very honest mum's funeral was a lovely day, very fitting for a lovely lady.

  • 5 Francine Lee 15th Nov 2021

    Very grateful we chose George brooks for the service. Outstanding throughout , nothing too small and everything we asked for we got . The advice on certain thinks as ever from Helen was great and the colourful coffin ( which they’d only done one with a couple of photos on ) was beautiful. You never want to have to use establishments like George brooks but I’d not use anyone else !! 

  • 5 Rachel Bain 11th Nov 2021

    All of the staff were genuinely caring and compassionate. Every effort was made to give my late uncle the day, as special as he was. 
    I would have no problems in recommending this family run firm.

  • 5 Celia Anderson 10th Nov 2021

    The staff at George Brookes are exceptional, nothing is too much trouble no matter how big or small you think your ask is. Judith and Helen are wonderful ladies who not only make sure they know all about they person they are looking after even though they have passed, they take time to get to know the family and offer lots of support during the saddest of times. All the team are kind and supportive and are a credit to Brooke's. I do not have the words to express our thanks for how they supported us through the funeral from set up to the day.

  • 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

  • 5 Christine Parsons 26th Oct 2021

    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.
