5 ANNE SUMMERS 16th Feb 2023
Dad died in 2019 and the excellent service we received from Judith and her team in 2019 meant we had no hesitation in asking them to carry out our mum’s funeral arrangements.
Mum died on 27/12/22 and due to Christmas and New Year’s bank holidays Judith went into action straight away to organise a date at the crematorium then we didn’t have to wait weeks to say goodbye to mum.
How nice it was to have the same person dealing with mums funeral as we had for dad. We felt as if we knew her already.
Judith was so helpful in helping us with the service, flowers and a catering venue.
The quality of service from the rest of the team was so kind and courteous I would recommend George Brooke to anyone.
Thank you -

George Brooke handled Dad’s funeral in 2020 and because we were so impressed they became the obvious choice for Mum’s funeral.
Our initial meeting was with Helen Wilson who was able to guide us through the next steps with the right amount of warmth and professionalism. We felt instantly reassured that she understood our wishes as a family and she was both knowledgable and helpful when it came to making any decisions. Brooks complied with all our wishes allowing us as much or as little input as we wanted to give. We were very happy with everything on the day and would highly recommend George Brooke Funeral Directors Ltd. -

Could not have been more professional, caring and compassionate. Nothing was too much trouble and every detail was thoroughly planned. We even got a call from Brooke’s the day after the funeral to check if we were all ok. Thank you so much for everything.

Our wishes were put into place better than we could have imagined for our beloved dad. Led by Helen who has the incredible gifts of empathy, vision and leadership. Throughout the the service every detail was attended to; one step ahead, guiding the mourners and her wonderful team with confidence and grace.

I was so pleased with both the initial response to Mary's passing, Helen's visit was not only extremely proffesional but warm and friendly. She extracted the right amount of information from me so calmly, without hurting, on such a delicate task.
The office staff, when I visited your premises, were both courteus and polite. Their telephone responses were clear and sympathetic .
The funeral day went very smoothly with military like precision. Helen, again led the family and our friends with dignity and the right amount of firmness required at such a sad time.
I thank every member of the staff for their quality of service. Thank you -

Many many thanks on behalf of the family on the sad passing of Kathleen Elizabeth Hammond. ❤️❤️❤️

Having regrettably used other funeral directors in the same year I cannot fault Brooke's professional approach and caring nature when dealing with the funeral of our relative..their utmost care with this situation remained paramount throughout and we felt totally involved in all aspects of the arrangements , even down to warnings about traffic building up on the day of the funeral. I can highly recommend them to anyone who would like to use a family run caring professional company thanks to all who were involved and continue to do so...cheers Jo :)

My dad passed away suddenly at home aged 63 years, it was George Brookes who had done my grandma's funeral many years ago therefore it was a no brainer to ask them to take care of my dad. From the get go, all the staff went above and beyond to care for my dad and my family. Nothing was too much trouble. My dad was in their care for 29 days, and I honestly couldn't have asked for better care. I felt he was safe and well looked after. I would ask how my dad was doing, and they would go and talk to him for me, which sounds really daft but it was the most reassuring thing. Staff were attentive, communicated when needed and so reassuring. They kindly sorted all the venue and catering for after the funeral, and the caterer was really good and reasonably priced. Lavender Hill did our flowers, and they were beautiful. I cannot thank Judith, Helen and all the team for providing care for my dad, and treating him like their family member and helping us throughout this traumatic time. Words cannot describe how grateful we are, and how wonderful each and every staff member is. Thank you for all your support and kindness, we are eternally grateful for the gold standard of care you provided. Thanks again, Gilly King (daughter)
