George Brooke Funeral Directors

5 Gill Dewhirst 19th Jan 2021

My family and I chose George Brooke's for my mum's funeral because of the wonderful care they gave her when my sister died.

From our first phone call to them, to the funeral on the day they are very professional and so caring in every way. They were always there with an answer to every call we made even if it was a silly question (thank you Clare)

Helen and her team made the day go smoothly despite the snow and mum would have laugh that her final journey was on the motorway

Thank you

Professionally and with compassion handled and conducted the funeral of our mother. Always on hand to provide support and guidance at such a difficult time. Would recommend this local family run business.

5 James Riding 17th Dec 2020

The whole team made my Mums funeral an extremely positive experience during a very difficult period for the nation and Tier 3 restrictions. We were guided through every step and given time and space to ensure we had everything in place for a befitting funeral for a life well lived. Due to restriction the service was made available online, this allowed a further 40 people to attend the service without a hitch. Nothing was missed, everything went to plan and the team kept us informed the whole way through. Thank you George Brooke for a special day.

5 Julie Grundell 15th Dec 2020

Really good compassion nothing to fault gave my mum the service she wanted thankyou to all. 

5 Susan Callow 14th Dec 2020

Having used George Brooke’s previously there was never a question that we would not use them again .
From the initial telephone call to there office there well timed machine clicked into place .
We were met by Helen for the initial consultation and yes there was a funeral plan in place but she methodically went through everything in finite detail questioning checking that we were we sure were we happy with the choices that we had made and should we decide otherwise later it  wasn’t a problem .
Obviously we are mid Covid 19 with restrictions in place but we were sat comfortably with a well made cup of tea but at a distance but it still felt intimate and close .
As the days moved on the ladies in there office made calls to check we were ok and happy with the choices we had made with care thoughtfulness and sincerity .
At no point did we ever feel rushed into decisions we weren’t sure about .
Judith looked after us on the day of the funeral her professionalism care and attention to detail is second to none, she gave a lot of care and thought  to us from the hearse and limousine arriving no one was rushed we were just ushered into the right place at the right time everything was communicated perfectly .
We had specific requests for some of our flowers after the funeral
 which were absolutely outstandingly beautiful and again the wheels just swung into motion when we were feeling at our most vulnerable .
One very well oiled caring thoughtful professional team no stone was left unturned and we were so thankful and grateful for there support .

5 Christopher Haywood 14th Dec 2020

We would like to thank you for the professional and exceptional caring service you gave for my late wife Sarah Jane Haywood, we appreciated the attention to detail, Helen you were wonderful, everything exceeded our expectations at this sad time.
Thank you so much
Chris, Leon and Katie

5 Tony Diskin 13th Dec 2020

We are very grateful for the excellent and professional care that we recieved. All of the staff were wonderful and dealt with all of our requests sensitively. We feel that our mother had a lovely funeral considering the Covid restrictions.
Thank you all especially Helen who we feel went the extra mile. I have been to many funerals organised by Brooke's and have never been disappointed with the care and compassion demonstrated to each family.
Father Hird also gave our mother a wonderful funeral. We are very grateful that he allowed the funeral to take place in church, as mum isn't a Catholic. He spoke so wonderfully about her, and the anecdotes were both funny and sad at the same time.
Thanks again to all concerned. We will definitely recommend Brooke's to anyone requiring their services.

5 Mary Simpson 13th Dec 2020
