George Brooke Funeral Directors

5 Margaret Turner 5th May 2020

Helen and the whole team at George Brooke’s were outstanding.  The care and sympathy showed to the family came across as genuine and the planning arrangements in difficult covid 19 times was efficient.  Thank you to all at George Brooke’s for conducting funeral arrangements respectfully.

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

5 Sarah Maybury 6th Apr 2020

Thank you so much for your support during our difficult time of loss, particularly at this unpredictable time in the life of our country, when decisions about what is permissible at a funeral have been changing.

Thank you for seeing how things were going and for helping us to celebrate my Mum's life within the constraints. We are so grateful that ten family members were allowed to be present

Blessings as you continue to support families who will not even be able to attend the Crematorium.

5 David Jackson 5th Apr 2020

We have used George Brookes before and they were brilliant then as they have been this time all of the team from bottom to top 

5 Mary Jennings 2nd Apr 2020

At such a sad time for our family, Helen and her team could not have done anymore for us in such a difficult time and the restrictions we all had through covid 19

- Thank you and stay safe

5 collette Wilde 31st Mar 2020

thank you for a lovely service and the kind staff at george brooks who are so helpfull at these sad times.

5 Stewart Moxon 31st Mar 2020

Helen and the staff were excellent. Went over and beyond as things were changing daily due to the Corona Virus situation developing.

Only negative was this funeralguide site they referred me to for internet donations and memoriam to my wife. Found this site commercialised, unpersonal - my wife never was a number, and tacky.

Hence having to produce my own site Lynn-Moxon.info

5 Geoffrey Wilson 28th Mar 2020

could not have been more helpful and we found their staff very friendly and courteous
and understanding

5 Tracie Holloway 24th Mar 2020

5 Janet Labourn 24th Mar 2020

From the initial phone call, this company have been professional in every way. Made to feel so at ease straight away when visiting their premises, they showed compassion and understanding in the most difficult of times, and made the whole process so much easier than I envisaged it would be. Everything went to plan and mum had a lovely send off. A big thank you to Helen and all her staff, I can’t thank you enough. 

5 Mark Lister 23rd Mar 2020

Judith, Helen and their team guided us through the the arrangement and choices for my Father's funeral. It was done in a caring and supportive way and they kept us informed throughout the whole process. They acted in a very professional and respectful manner and helped the family say goodbye to a very dear husband, father, Granddad, great Granddad and brother. My family would like to say thank you for all your support and kind guidance at a very difficult time. Mark Lister

5 Sandra Huggins 17th Mar 2020

Brooke's provide the most professional service to families, they are dedicated to making a difficult time flow as easy as possible. They take a huge weight off families shoulders. The personal approach is hugely important and we as a family are very grateful for that.  Thank you you lovely people. 

5 Carolyn Staynon 15th Mar 2020

Thank you to Helen for her thoughtful touch in supplying two joiner's smoothing planes - which she placed on the top of my Dad's coffin. (He was a joiner.)
