As a family we were consulted on everything. Helen was amazing with us. This was the worst situation we could face as a family and George Brooke’s did their best to support us.

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.

    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
