Gallaghers offer an extremely sensitive and professional service at one of the hardest times of a families life, unfortunately we have had to use their services twice, but would not have used any other company… Simon and team have gone above and beyond with their understanding of our needs… their calm acceptance of our families grief has been overwhelming… Thank you to the entire team . Judith, Robin Appleyard

We were very grateful to everyone at Gallagher Family Funeral Directors for the care and compassion which the showed at this difficult time. We were guided through the process of arranging the funeral and all that needed to be done - everything on the day went as well as we could have hoped.

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.

  • 5 Jennifer Green 4th Dec 2021

    Thank you to David and Sam for all their kindness and help. The Requiem Mass was so faith full and helped us come to terms with our loss. They thought of everything which made us feel comforted. There cannot be a better family of Undertakers anywhere. From beginning to end everything was taken care of with utmost professionalism and great care.

    Jeans funeral was nothing more than expected from your company. The compassion and helpfulness were outstanding.  Everything was done in a sympathetic manner and could not have been better. 

  • 5 Karen Laycock 2nd Dec 2021

    A first class service from the very first point of contact, nothing was ever too much trouble, and at such a very difficult and emotional time for the whole family, the care and empathy received really was faultless. Simon Wheeler who was our main point of contact was absolutely brilliant, if we were not sure about anything, or had any queries at all Simon explained things very simply and sympathetically with genuine compassion of our circumstances. Thank You x

  • 5 Alixena Lubomski 2nd Dec 2021

    David Gallagher and his team made the experience of saying goodbye to my dear husband John so much more bearable than I could have hoped for.
    Every communication in person and online was full of care and compassion.  
    Everything we asked to happen was put in place, despite the challenges of the unexpected freezing weather.  
    They supported us in every step of the planning and each member of the team contributed to making the two days of funeral services such beautiful and memorable celebrations. 
    Heartfelt thanks to David and  his team from Alix and John’s family.

  • 5 Flora Jennings 1st Dec 2021

    On behalf of the entire family, I want to thank you and everyone at Gallagher's for the caring and professional manner in which you handled the service and cremation for my father Benito. It was a very difficult time for us, especially me who could not attend the funeral due to covid, but you and your staff did a great job in working with us all through this tough time. For that we are truly grateful. Kind regards

  • 5 Sandra Firm 1st Dec 2021

    Excellent. Nothing was too much trouble for them.

  • 5 Tracey Sykes 1st Dec 2021

    What can I say Gallaghers have been amazing from start to finish. Simon whom we was dealing with was wonderful he kept us informed and explained everything in detail. The day of my sons funeral everything was perfect and very professional , I can't praise them enough. Would highly recommend.

  • 5 Victoria Vendettuoli 1st Dec 2021

    An extremely personal service. 
    When my 37 year old son was killed in September, we knew his funeral would need to be very different. As a musician, professional biker and NHS worker and about 300 attendees, there was much to include and consider. David Lawson handled everything personally but I was also addressed by my first name from all staff. Such consideration was taken. A little motorbike had been engraved on the plate on his coffin. David rode personally, in the pouring rain with his hand on my son’s motorbike hearse, guiding him all the way. The cortège included 100 motorbikes and all of this had been factored in. Live music was factored into the service with musicians and instruments. Every little detail had been thought of and nothing was too much for them. Many personal touches and great support during the month we had to plan this funeral. I cannot recommend Gallaghers Funeral Directors highly enough. They really do make the last time you have with your loved one as special as it could possibly be. I achieved all I wanted for my son’s final journey and for that, I could never thank them enough. 

  • 5 Peter Wilson 1st Dec 2021

    Helpful, considerate, not "pushy", friendly, and reasonably priced.

  • 5 Mark Hudson 1st Dec 2021

    A professional, courteous and sympathetic service from all the team - outstanding throughout the whole process 

  • 5 Deborah Morrisroe 1st Dec 2021

    Fantastic service and follow up. Would highly recommend

  • 5 Angela Green 1st Dec 2021

    Gallagher’s family funeral directors gave us help, guidance, professionalism and expertise, all wrapped in care and compassion, at a time when we were all heartbroken over losing mum so swiftly.  Mum had arranged her own funeral, and Gallagher’s ensured that everything was carried out in accordance with mum’s wishes, as far as was possible, taking into account her chosen crematorium was closed for major alterations, and Covid 19 regulations .  We were kept informed all the way through the process; from them collecting mum, right down to when her ashes were scattered.  They even planted a tree in memory of mum.  How they included everything we wanted in her “order of service” was nothing short of a miracle.  It must have be “rejigged” 3-4 times - without complaint.  We know mum was treated with care whilst with them, and that made things a little easier for our family to bear.  Gallagher’s have been our “undertakers of preference” for at least 5 family funerals in recent years, and each time their services have been exemplary.  “Thank you for all you do guys; you really do go “above and beyond”.

  • 5 Judith Stevens 30th Nov 2021

    I cannot praise Gallagher family funeral directors enough at the most difficult time for us as a family, you were so professional yet with such a caring personal service throughout. Nothing was too much trouble and the whole extremely sad procedure for us was made as smooth as it could possibly be by you, when our world had fallen apart..Thank you. Jude

  • 5 Barbara Cullingworth 30th Nov 2021
