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.
What Families Say
AI SummaryMany families praise the consistent care and professionalism shown throughout the funeral process, describing staff as compassionate, understanding, and genuinely invested in supporting them through their grief. Families often mention that arrangements were explained clearly, questions answered patiently, and that they felt their loved one was treated with dignity and respect from the moment of collection through to the final service.
On the day of the funeral itself, families repeatedly note that staff guided them through each step with sensitivity, ensuring proceedings ran smoothly despite often difficult circumstances such as poor weather or large numbers of mourners. Several describe the funeral day as a beautiful, memorable occasion that reflected their loved one's life and wishes.
Communication emerges as something families return to frequently, with many noting that they were kept regularly informed and that staff made themselves available by phone, email, and in person whenever questions arose or reassurance was needed. Families appreciate that staff checked in on their wellbeing, not just the arrangements, and that nothing seemed too much trouble, whether accommodating specific requests, organising unusual elements, or handling complex family situations.

From the first contact Gallagher's have been first rate in their service; caring, supportive and sensitive. They were able to provide a very personal funeral and after care. David especially made a difficult time so much easier to negotiate. Thank you
Karen Sullivan 1st Feb 2022
Gallagher's provided an excellent and highly professional service for our client in particularly difficult circumstances, as unfortunately we could not trace family members in time to fill in the many blanks in Miss Sale's life. Thank you very much Simon for all your time and effort in going the extra mile to afford Miss Sale such kindness and respect through the provision of a meaningful and dignified funeral service. We greatly appreciate all your time and effort in these difficult circumstances.
