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 Angela McLoughlin 2nd Mar 2025

    From the minute Paul answered the phone to my dad to arrange Margaret Inman's funeral... We knew we had chosen the right funeral director. Paul's attention to detail, compassion and understanding was second to none. The whole team at Gallaghers were amazing.... We just can't thank them enough, they made the whole process of arranging a very painful funeral bearable. The grieving process is still ongoing, and so is the support from Paul and the team... I personally can't thank you enough for being there for my dad..... Thank you

  • 5 Mark Boland 15th Feb 2025

    From initial contact to collecting my dad's ashes, David and his team were exemplary. The process of planning a funeral for a loved one is an emotional journey, but they guide you every step of the way with care, compassion and professionalism. You are made to feel that nothing is too much trouble. My dad was given the send of he deserved, helped in no small part by David and his kind, caring, compassionate and professional team. Thank you

  • 5 Julie O'Hara 15th Feb 2025

    Great care from all the team, especially Paul, who ensured that my brothers simple wishes were carried out to the letter. Paul offered great support and reasurance to both me and my boys.
    Im truly thankful that a difficult time was made bearable.

  • 5 Alison Burnett 11th Feb 2025

    Paul dealt with mums funeral from start to finish and i couldn't fault him. He couldn't do enough for me at this incredibly sad and heartbreaking time in my life. Mum had a beautiful celebration of life in the chapel at Gallaghers and it was absolutely perfect. Dawn delivered the eulogy perfectly and mum no doubt would have been laughing at some of the daft things she got upto and shared with friends.
    I would thoroughly recommend Gallaghers funeral directors (chosen by mum for herself after dad died)
    Thank you Paul Wilkinson you were brilliant and so kind .

  • 5 Christine Kendall 10th Feb 2025

    Gallagher have been our family’s choice of help with the funerals of six of our immediate family and two of our relatives, they are so good to deal with keeping us informed, and helped with every decision we needed to make.  For this latest funeral of our brother Ian, Simon was our contact and our family would like to say how much we appreciated all the help he gave us when we needed it most. Thank you all

  • 5 Andrew Asquith 10th Feb 2025

    We could not have asked for more. The attention to detail and professionalism was second to none.

  • 5 Susan Howard 10th Feb 2025

    Myself, family and friends were extremely pleased for the very professional service Sam and team gave for our mum. From visit the funeral directors to the day of the funeral it all went very smoothly, nothing was too much trouble

  • 5 Thomas Wilmot 7th Feb 2025

    Gallaghers have been amazing but a big special thank you to Simon. He has been a compassionate, caring and supportive help in such difficult times for us as a family. Thank you for everything Simon, for looking after David and us. From the first day we met you have been absolutely amazing and the family will never forget it. 
    Love Thomas, Liam, Kathryn and Erin x

  • 5 Elizabeth Ramsden 7th Feb 2025

  • 5 Rod Fotherby 3rd Feb 2025

    I found David and his staff very empathetic and made the arrangements for Janet's funeral and the day as good as it could be under the very sad circumstances. Everything was explained clearly and delivered very professionally.
    Thank you

  • 5 Rosalie Swire 2nd Feb 2025

    My first experience of supporting a family member with the arrangements and details for her husbands funeral, Paul was respectful, attentive, supportive and accommodating in all of our requests.  

  • 5 Kate Taylor 1st Feb 2025

    In the most difficult time that our family has experienced, Gallaghers made everything easier. David and his team showed us all such compassion and treated dad with the dignity that he deserved. We knew that he was in safe hands and we knew that they would do their very best for him and us.
    David helped us every step of the way and on the day of dad's funeral, everything was planned meticulously meaning that we could focus on saying goodbye to dad without any stress whatsoever.
    Gallaghers provide so many personal touches and we know that nobody could have looked after dad or us any better than they did.

  • 5 Irene Duxbury 31st Jan 2025

    Paul Wilkinson at Gallaghers was absolutely great from start to finish organising dad's funeral. Checked in on us regularly and kept us informed of the arrangements all the way. Couldn't praise Paul enough

  • 5 Malcolm Maskill 26th Jan 2025

    Paul Wilkinson and his team provided a very compassionate, efficient and personal service right through the funeral arrangements and on the day. They could not have been more helpful at a very stressful and emotional time. Everything went like clockwork which was very much appreciated by all the family and mourners. Highly recommended.

  • 5 David Hardy 23rd Jan 2025

    I am very happy to recommend these funeral directors. Having been in the sad and unfortunate situation where I needed a funeral aranging I contacted gallagers. From the first e mail and the first meeting in person they were very helpfull and professional [and caring] I hope its many years before I need the service again but If I do I will be going back to these people. I thought this was going to be a hard thing to do, but they made it easy and straight forward. But also letting me be involved as this was my wish. They let me and my family carry my wife's coffin from the hurst [this was under the instructions that they gave us]...A big thankyou
    From Me for the care you gave my late wife.. David Hardy..

  • 5 Agnes Green 23rd Jan 2025

  • 5 Sue Yearby 17th Jan 2025

    Exceptional service from start to finish.
    Simon and the team guided and supported us throughout this difficult time, with upmost respect, compassion and care. Thank you for making the process seem easier. Would highly recommend.

  • 5 Catherine Sibley 12th Jan 2025

    The compassion, professionalism and care given to us was outstanding.  Simon was so personable I felt I could ask any question, nothing was too much trouble.  The weather conditions on the day were extreme ice and snow, Simon and his colleagues were caring and professional and Dad was transported with the utmost care, as were the mourners.  I would have no hesitation in recommending Gallaghers, they are outstanding.  With much thanks and gratitude Cathy Sibley.
