We investigate the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in four ferromagnetic (FM) cerium-based heavy-fermion (HF) compounds. These ferromagnets are distinguished by relatively high Curie temperatures ($T_{\mathrm{C}}$) and large residual resistivity ratios, which allowed us to disentangle the mechanisms of the AHE. Our results reveal a predominant skew-scattering contribution to the AHE within the FM region of all four compounds, with the anomalous Hall conductivity ranging from $100{\mathrm{\Omega }}^{-1}{\mathrm{cm}}^{-1}$ to $1.5\times {10}^4{\mathrm{\Omega }}^{-1}{\mathrm{cm}}^{-1}$ at 2 K. Additionally, skew-scattering AHE also plays a significant role in the paramagnetic state, resulting in a distinct magnetic field dependence of the Hall resistivity when the temperatures are near the $T_{\mathrm{C}}$. We propose that the partially screened $f$ moments serve as scattering centers in the electrical transport of these four compounds.
