Amanda Jane Curley 9th Dec 2019

From the very 1st phone call on Saturday 16th November until our drop off to celebrate Seans life the service was outstanding. The 2 gentlemen who came to collect Sean were respectful and caring,they really looked after Sean. Helen was amazing when she came to visit us,even though it was the hardest thing we had to do she made us laugh,put us at ease and made it perfectly clear that nothing was too much trouble. The ladies at the other end of the phone(i apologise for forgetting their names) answered all our enquiries and changes to things so calmly,politely nothing was too much trouble and believe me we rang regularly.When we went to see Sean they were so respectful even offering to take us through which i did take up on.The day of Seans funeral ran so smoothly,and Helen followed through with all her promises,I didnt want crowding she made sure i wasnt,everything was perfect and it was all down to Helen and all the caring staff. At one of the most difficult times in our lives George Brookes delivered everything and more and i personally recommend them. Amanda Curley 9/12/2019

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 Karen Wood 23rd Nov 2019

    Helen and the staff at George Brooke made the sad experience much nicer and were there to help and advise on anything I needed to ask. It’s a difficult time and your mind is on everything and you don’t always take everything in at first so it was nice to be able to discuss things as they became important. The service was very nice and the florist they recommended provided lovely flowers.

    Good and friendly people very supportive and helpful
