Kind thoughtful and thorough  Just enough contact/ communication to know what is going and needs doing Unfortunately second time we’ve used GB and they were excellent both times 

J Jackson 8th Sep 2020

Everything was first class,as we have experienced for the last 30 or so years

Carol Anne Thewliss 8th Sep 2020

I have organised two funerals with George Brooke; the first for my father 18 years ago and very recently for my husband. On each occasion, George Brooke were extremely helpful, friendly and treated us with the utmost dignity and respect. The funerals were seamless and carried out to perfection. Even though funerals are very sad occasions, Judith at George Brooke communicates with just the right amount of humour to keep your spirits up when you need it most but always with the utmost respect as to your loss - a perfect balance.

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.

  • 5 James Broscombe 17th Aug 2020

    George Brooke Funeral Directors are the best I have ever encountered. Nothing is too much trouble. They help you through every step and planning question with ultimate attention, but zero fuss. They are never patronising. They never rush you. At a time when respect and care matter hugely, they get every little thing spot on. This is a deeply dignifying experience. It is hard to find words for how much their personal, respectful, businesslike care has meant to all of us over these grief-heavy days. Just don't even consider choosing anyone else!

  • 5 Denise Wood 17th Aug 2020

    We have dealt with George Brooke over a period of time and on each occasion we were given not only professionalism the genuine care was there for all to see. All the worry was taken out of your hands which at a time when your emotions are not at their best is such a relief to pass everything on to capable hands.
    I had the pleasure of knowing George Brooke and the standards he had and I am 
    sure he would be so proud of the way his children are carrying on with his very high standards.
    Thank you

  • 5 Katherine Simpson 5th Aug 2020

    It was reassuring to have a warm, caring team walking alongside you- at one of the most difficult and emotional times of your life. No detail was too small which meant we were able to say goodbye to our wonderful dad in the right way.

  • 5 Stephen Cartwright 15th Jul 2020

    George Brookes was the only decent service we received during this 2 years of Janice's cancer battle. As they know our family we wanted them to be with her for her final journey knowing full well she'd finally get the dignity and treatment she deserved and Helen and her team fulfilled this to a fantastic standard. We can not thank them enough for the help and support we have had from George Brookes
