Very good caring support and excellent organisation.

David Sheard 17th Nov 2017

This is the third occasion that George Brooke Ltd have arranged funerals for my family. They have been consistently professional, helpful and considerate to our needs. From prompt attendance to discuss the initial arrangements, through to helpful advice and liaison with other agencies on our behalf, Helen, Judith and all the staff have inspired confidence and gone out of their way to ensure that proceedings ran smoothly. I would have no hesitation in using their services again, and recommend them most sincerely. David Sheard

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.

All executed with kindness dignity compassion and just the right amount of humour to help us get through this difficult time. Thank you Helen Xx

    We have used George Brookes before. They are efficient, communicative, informative and thoughtful. They clearly know their onions and are extremely helpful in all areas at this difficult time.They understand.

    We will use this highly professional, sensitive, friendly and empathetic family business again.

    A big thank you to Helen and all the staff. Perfection doesn't come easy for many, but it's pretty much standard at George Brooke's.

    Having never arranged a funeral before but also wanting to do my Dad proud, I found Helen and Judith and the team both highly professional, very helpful and compassionate. They made the whole experience has pleasant has it could be and on the day they were absolutely fantastic. I will never forget how they looked after everyone and made my little boy centre stage at his Grandad's funeral. Grandads little mascot. Has funerals go I think we had a great day celebrating my dads life and G Brooks played a massive part in that. Thank you so much.
    All the best
