We have known the family of George Brook’s funeral directors for many years. It is obvious they are a family run business & their knowledge, experience & personal touch is always present. You feel as though they are only dealing with you & your family- excellent 

Christine Wharton 21st Apr 2024

George Brookes made a difficult time more manageable. Very professional, sorted everything  quickly, everyone I dealt with was kind and nothing was too much trouble. The actual funeral was well managed, worth every penny.

Clare Naughton 17th Apr 2024

As always, the team at George Brookes went out of their way to ensure our Mum had the send off she deserved. Thoughtful, compassionate and helpful and always with dignity for the bereaved. Our family always turn to George Brookes in our time of need and they are always there to make sure our loved ones are treated with respect and their compassion and empathy is such a comfort to families. Thank you all.

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.
