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.

    Highly recommend George Brooke's funeral services team for their professionalism, empathy and attention to detail in dealing with arrangements for the funeral of your loved one.

  • 5 Amanda Hill 20th Aug 2021

    Beyond amazing with care and compassion from the first minute to the last. 

  • 5 Judith Greenwood 19th Aug 2021

    It is a sad fact that we have had to call upon the services of George Brooke's family on several occasions now, following family bereavements.
    And we will always call upon them to help us through such difficult times when they arise in the future.
    And this is for two reasons:

    - The family members we have sadly lost all believed that death is a process in life. It is not an ending: it is a passage to something else. What that "something else" might be is a matter of individual faith and belief.
    This way of accepting the fact of death has been of great comfort to our family: we want to believe in the possibility of reunion.  
    George Brooke's family and staff have supported us in this belief with empathy and with great sensitivity and without censure or cynicism. 

    The second reason we depend on the Brooke family for support and comfort during  these sad times is that they have the enviable ability to treat us as if we are their only client. Their focus is on our family, making us feel secure and held during times of great distress.  

    They understand that life's light and its corresponding shadow continue into death, and their support is therefore humane, warm, sometimes humorous if appropriate, and always sensitive and sympathetic. We would like to thank them, from all the Greenwood family.

    The whole team at George Brookes were outstanding from start to finish, Judith has a remarkable way of dealing with the grieving family ensuring that the practical elements of what need to happen actually do happen whilst limiting the emotional trauma on those impacted by a death.

  • 5 Linda Jordan 14th Aug 2021

    Very kind ,efficient and friendly. Everyone showed Professionalism in their role and made us feel that we had made the right choice at this most difficult time.It was most reassuring to know that we felt really supported in our decision making.Thankyou to everyone involved and it seemed that nothing was too much trouble for Helen or Judith when we asked,or felt unsure about anything.Special mention to Kevin who was also very helpful too.

  • 5 Simon Joy 14th Aug 2021

    Losing a loved one was something we could never prepare for as a family. My Dad was not only my Dad but my best friend and George Brooke took all the worry and stress of arranging the funeral away at this very difficult time. Every time I had a question to ask they seemed to know and  before I could call them, they would call me. Funeral directors is a service that no one looks forward to using but when you do, you need one that is as professional as George Brooke. We could not have asked for a more understanding and sympathetic funeral directors. I would highly recommend George Brooke. 

  • 5 Alan Jackson 13th Aug 2021

    I was recommend to George Brooke Ltd by a good number of people, and I can state with hand on heart that every one was so understanding and very professional in all matters regarding to the sad passing of my beloved brother Gordon.

    So thank you all and God Bless. Alan.

  • 5 Leanne Buck 10th Aug 2021

    Helen was brilliant. She makes you feel at ease from the start. The service they provide at George Brooke’s is second to none. We have unfortunately had the need for a funeral director a number of times over the years and the service has never changed. Faultless.
