About Us

    About George Steele & Son Funeral Directors

    A century of tradition and four generations of the same family make up George Steele and Son Funeral Directors. David and Christine Steele and their son Richard have served the communities of Ossett, Horbury and Wakefield, trading from their Joiners and Funeral Directors for most of their lives. 

    The team at our Ossett funeral home will provide advice at every stage of the funeral planning process, and will arrange an individual and unique funeral to help you celebrate the life of your loved one. 

    Here at George Steele & Son Funeral Directors we also offer an affordable prepaid funeral plan, Choice, so that you can arrange and pay for a funeral in advance. This will protect your family from rising costs and remove uncertainty about your wishes.

    If you would like to talk to us about planning a funeral, or our Choice plan, please come and see us in any of our funeral homes, or if you’d rather we can arrange a home visit. We’re also available 24 hours a day on the phone so if you need anything please don’t hesitate to call your local funeral home.

    David was really helpful throughout and nothing was too much trouble. He made you feel relaxed and at ease during a very difficult time and helped make the arrangements easier by taking you through things one step at a time. A big thank you once…

    Excellent service provided from start to finish for something that is such a sad time. Lovely touch of Jayden leading the hearse from the start and stop off point and bowing to the coffin each time. Very respectful and sobering experience so thank you
