About Us
Welcome to R A Brooks & Son - Independent, family owned funeral service.
The Brooks family business has been established in Newick since the late 1880s when J. A. Brooks and his sons began their building and undertaking firm. The business was run as a family concern. Tragedy struck the family during World War One when two sons were killed and one was left injured.
The war took its toll on the family, as it did with so many at that time, and when J. A. Brooks died in 1927, his surviving son Fred continued the business.
In 1946 Fred's son Roy joined his father in the running of the business until Fred's death nineteen years later.
