Made a very sad perfect 

Simon Haigh 8th Sep 2024

A most attentive, supportive and professional service from Judith and all of her team at George Brooke. Kept us updated on all stages of arrangements, at what was a most stressful ... and emotional time. Their nominated Reverend Helen Butler delivered a lovely service for my Mum, that was well received by all. I would recommend George Brooke's services without reservation. Many thanks more

Richard Gibson 7th Sep 2024

Brookes were recommended to me and I can see why. First class from start to finish and made a difficult process much easier. They are less like a business more a local institution. ...  Everyone I speak to who has dealt with them have nothing but positive words to say! Thank you! more

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 Deborah Parr 3rd Sep 2024

    The support and service we received for our family after our recent bereavement has been the best.  George Brooke’s talked us through every step and offered advice on the type of service that would be most suitable for our loved one.  They also recommended one of their chosen celebrants who was perfect.  Everything on the day went really well and we received many compliments on the service.  We would highly recommend George Brookes for anyone in our area.

    George Brooke’s as a company and Helen in particular acted throughout with sincerity, professionalism, and empathy.  They were our one and only choice, having engaged their services before, and they will be in the future.  As a family we have already thanked them, but thank you yet again, the whole process from death to collecting ashes was made simple but yet sympathetic and special !
