From the first meeting Brooke’s were very professional and extremely helpful. There was nothing that we couldn’t ask or get help with. They made the whole experience bearable.

Mitchel Singh 1st Jul 2024

As a family we have had to use the services of George Brooke twice in the last 8 months and their customer care, attention and kindness has been brilliant on both occasions. They have a top class level of professionalism from start to finish and are able to make the whole funeral personable to your loved one meaning that the service goes smoothly and just how you wanted it. Every staff member I have dealt with has been so patient and understanding and most important of all, helpful. I can't praise George Brooke and their staff enough for the care they have shown us and the lovely send offs we have been able to give our loved ones due to their service. 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.

  • 4 Andrew Jackson 28th Jun 2024

    Pre-Funerals - Judith and the team at Brookes did a wonderful job in taking all the stress out of organising the funeral at a time when you need to be grieving.
    They took great care of the 2 funerals I had in a 3-month period.
    Always professional, courteous respectful and move forward with the arrangements well, with regular gentle reminders to make the right decisions in good time.
    During Funerals – on the day Brookes were faultless, everything went as planned and on time which lets you get on with the dealing with the grief.
    Post Funerals – several days after the funeral we had a catch up just to say how well things went and a thank you to Judith and the team.

    I couldn't have asked for better, from the beginning to the end George Brookes was there giving me guidance and help when I needed it most.
    It's never a good time for a child to part with his mother so to have a fantastic funeral director and team who knew exactly what to do made this painful time so much easier. Thank you.

For anyone living in their catchment area, it has to be first choice.
