Paul made what was a difficult time for the family easy by taking on all the arrangements, including organising the wake, while keeping us informed every step of the way. It is the second time the family have had to use the services of Gallaghers in the last 4 months and would highly recommend them to others who find themselves requiring a funeral director.

About Us

Gallagher Family Funeral Directors is an independent family funeral director in Keighley, and have been serving the people and families of the town and its surrounding districts since 1993.

The business was established by David and Adele Gallagher, with the aim of becoming Keighley's first choice funeral director by maintaining a personal caring approach to all families of the bereaved. Their son, Sam, has recently joined the business sharing the same vision and caring values.

The Gallagher family aims to offer the highest level of care and attention with a flexible approach to individual needs by offering clear funeral options and transparent pricing.

Gallagher Family Funeral Directors are very proud to employ carefully chosen members of staff who show the care, respect and understanding that you would expect from a family business. Every funeral director is fully trained and qualified, obtaining industry recognised diplomas from the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD).

The compassionate staff at Gallagher’s all understand the difficult nature of funeral arrangements, but believe it is always worthwhile contacting at least two businesses, so you can compare the services they offer and all the costs involved, as no two funerals or funeral directors are the same.

The team at the funeral home in Keighley will listen to you and make you feel at ease, to try and to help make the process of arranging a funeral easier and more bearable.

You are welcome to visit the premises by appointment to meet the family, who will answer any questions you may have.

Call Gallagher Family Funeral Directors now to find out more about the services they provide and begin making funeral arrangements for your loved one.

    I can't recommend Gallagher's highly enough. I had not been through the funeral process before but we were led through everything in manageable chunks and in an exceptionally professional and respectful way. The day was just as we wanted it to be; their attention to detail was second to none.
    Sam was our contact there and he was just fantastic.
    Thank you very much for making such a horrible process, bearable.

    David and his family have been consummate professionals throughout. Listening carefully and advising accordingly. Every detail was perfect and respectful even to the point that David wore a Burnley FC tie in honour of the best and greatest friend I ever had.  I have no hesitation in recommending the Gallagher Family Funeral Service for those in need. Thank you all on behalf of John Henry Langstroth 

    Regards. Roy Spink.

  • 5 Carol Sellars 26th Feb 2024

    A huge thank you to David, his family and all the staff. Gallaghers made the planning of our mum's funeral so easy and straight forward. At first we thought, "how on earth do we do this?" However with their professional and compassionate help we did not need to worry. They guided us through everything and took time to see that every little detail was fine for us. We felt totally looked after, and we felt comfortable phoning up to ask all sorts of questions. Whenever we spoke to someone they were kind, calm and caring and nothing was too much trouble. The phone call the evening before was a nice, reassuring touch. The funeral day went perfectly to plan, and special thanks to Sam for that, (despite the terrible wind and rain). Thank you so much for all the organisation and support that you gave us. I would certainly recommend this company.

  • 5 Jacqueline Jackson 23rd Feb 2024

    Paul was very kind very thoughtful and very helpful. Very supportive all the way through. Many thanks to all involved at a difficult time

  • 5 Becky Collier 19th Feb 2024

    We were so happy that we chose Gallagher to carry out my mums funeral and to look after her, and us. From the start they were so caring, considerate and thoughtful - not too overbearing with contacting and extremely helpful guiding us through every step. Nothing was too much trouble and they made the whole process so much easier and as good as it could be given how difficult it was. We felt that our mum was safe with them. I can’t thank Sam enough for the care and time he gave me and my family. Him and the team including Paul who came to the house when we called them with our bad news, have been just amazing throughout and I don’t think we could have got through it all without them. Thank you so much Sam to you and your wonderful family / colleagues. Becky and Ben Collier.
