Thank you to everyone at George Brooke Ltd for a very professional service on 15/5/20 despite the current restrictions due to Covid 19. Have used them for years and will continue to do so.

Michelle Roberts 18th May 2020

From start to finish everything was clearly explained and the funeral service ran smoothly considering the present pandemic. Helen was amazing and very helpful and also caring and compassionate, thankyou from all Lilian's family.

Anna Thompson 18th May 2020

So grateful to Helen and the whole team for their care and compassion arranging my aunt’s funeral during the Covid19 restrictions. We were concerned that it wasn’t going to be a personal, loving service, saying goodbye to an important member of our family, but it turned out to be really beautiful and tasteful, and the Webcam broadcast meant that the family in Italy and Scotland were also able to view the service live. Thank you.

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.

    Thank you so much to George Brooke for looking after things concerning my mum.
    We have used this family run firm  within our family all my life.
    Everything is always carried out in such a delicate, professional and prompt manner.
    No finer detail is ever over looked, nothing is too much trouble and the personal touch is always very much apparent.
    I class Neil, Helen and Judith not just as professionals within their industry but as friends.
    I have no doubt at all my mum would be more than happy with the attention she was given at the end of her life and on her final journey.
    Thank you so much.

  • 5 Jonathan Paul Haigh 5th May 2020

    Under the circumstances well done you could not have done more to give Mum a dignified funeral and for that all the family are eternally grateful. Thankyou

  • 5 Catherine Wigglesworth 5th May 2020

    George Brooke provided an excellent service. It was strange having to hold the service outside of the Crematorium due to Coronavirus but it was carried out in a very professional way. Very satisfied.

  • 5 Helen Thom 30th Apr 2020

    Like many thousands of others during the coronavirus lockdown, we had to arrange a funeral, my father's, under very difficult conditions. George Brooke acted with understanding, discretion and complete professionalism throughout. They consulted us on even the smallest detail and went above and beyond what could be expected of them to make the funeral as positive experience as it could be under the circumstances.

  • 5 Sharon Flavell 29th Apr 2020

    More than we could have hoped considering the circumstances. We were extremely touched by Helen's words of comfort at the service. Much appreciated by all attended.

  • 5 Clive Lodge 27th Apr 2020

    George Brooke handled my Dad's funeral very well many years ago, and were the obvious choice for my Mum's funeral. Estimated costs were set out clearly, in writing,and queries dealt with very promptly. Helen at Brookes couldn't have been more kind or helpful from beginning to end, and the burial - held during the Covid restrictions - was despite difficult circumstances handled with great sensitivity. Excellent all-round service at a very stressful time.

  • 5 Conal Haythorne 26th Apr 2020

    From my initial call right the way through Helen, Judy and the team made a difficult time that much easier for all the family and especially in these unprecedented times. The team are very professional with a caring and kind human touch. I would highly recommend their services. Many thanks to all the team at  Brookes.

  • 5 Ruth Smith 24th Apr 2020

    Couldn't wish for a better service that is helping me and my family in this difficult time

  • 5 Julie Sweeney 20th Apr 2020

    Very professional and caring  attitude from all that work there . Very impressed with how they handled all the funeral arrangements from start to finish . Under the present circumstances with the social distancing , they delivered the best dignified service that we were allowed. They did my mum proud and gave our family a stress free service. We felt in safe hands throughout. 

  • 5 Shirley McNair 18th Apr 2020

    I would like to thank Helen and staff for the help and support at this most difficult time.
    Having used Brookes for other members of my family they are really caring and understanding when you need it most.
    Would definitely recommend their service.

  • 5 Sarah-Jane Morley 15th Apr 2020

    Very professional, caring and helpful. This was the first time myself or my immediate family had, had to plan a funeral & we were also dealing with the shock as it was an unexpected passing. My extended family had used George Brooke’s before for two other funerals in our family so they came highly recommended to us. George Brooke’s guided us through the entire process, explained what would happen at every stage and was happy to answer any question we had. Our loss was at the very beginning of the lockdown so they also guided us through what the new rules were for funerals. I hope I won’t need their services again for a very long time, but I will be using them again when the time comes & would recommend to friends. 

  • 5 Brian Cook 13th Apr 2020

    I very much doubt that anyone could give a better service, so caring understanding, take care of your loved one, help with all that losing a loved one brings even to the smallest detail, as a family we have so much to thank all the staff for over this last year, Thank you all xx

    Brian Cook and Family
