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.

The unexpected death of my mother was the worst day of my life. The thoughts thereafter as to how we as a family were going to get through the funeral were simply unthinkable. George Brookes were recommended and I am so glad that we then met Helen. Her care, compassion, approach and understanding were a blessing to us. I breathed a sigh of relief when I knew mum was in her care and from then until the funeral, matters were dealt with by Helen and her colleagues in a compassionate and caring manner. Many thanks to you Helen and I wish you and your family all the best. Kindest Regards Russell

As with every funeral presided over by Helen and her team at Brooke's, our needs were dealt with compassion and understanding. We were kept informed of every item along the way, and nothing created problems that Helen couldn't sort out. I have already written into my living will that Brooke's are the only funeral directors to deal with upon my death.
From everyone associated with Elaine thank you very much. -

5 Darren & Eve Halmshaw 27th Nov 2016
Helen and her team walked my family through the stages of the funeral. All details no matter how small were covered.
When your wife (aged only 53) and Mother to Eve, is laid to rest it is the most difficult day of your life. From making certain the service went smoothly (with guidance of my dearly departed wife from above) and working with the Church all the way was amazing.......
The shock of losing one so close is devastating but Brookes looked after my amazing wife with dignity and care from start to finish.
Helen, you did Pamela proud and we plus the family and friends thank you so much.......
Darren and Eve...........x
