It is with great thanks to Helen for her patience, caring and understanding during this sad time. With her help and guidance we were able to celebrate our dear mums life knowing that George Brooke's staff team have taken care of everything. Having Helen there on the day of the funeral to support us all was very welcoming. Many thanks to Helen and the staff team and George Brooke's...

I am so grateful to all involved at the George Brooke company for the sensitive, thoughtful and helpful way they supported us from the night my husband died at home, all the way through, and even to a telephone call on the evening following the funeral. We had contacted them because they were recommended by a friend of my daughter. Helen (née Brooke) came out to see us to discuss the funeral and explain things we needed to do in the meantime, giving us a very helpful company brochure which informed us of the 'tell us once service' through the Coroner's office, and prompts about things we had not considered. During the time until the funeral it was easy to contact them for help and advice. Helen led the funeral on the day, and her approach and manner put everyone at ease, particularly the children present. The ceremony was conducted by Martyn Beecham, who was recommended by the company. He visited us and encouraged us to talk about my husband, making notes and later preparing a draft for us to discuss. During the service he spoke about my husband as if he knew him, because he had understood the essence of Don and delivered exactly what we needed. I would recommend the George Brooke company to anyone, and I cannot thank them enough.

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.
