He offered some suggestions, which made mum's funeral a personal and lovely tribute to her. Sam communicated well with us; the other Gallaghers staff we met were all polite and helpful. Superb service at the worst of times for a family, and I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.

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 Helen Davies 14th Jan 2024

    We wish to thank everyone at Gallaghers for their superb and professional service. The celebrant ,Scarlett Kolavinsky, was compassionate and accommodating, even visiting us on New Year’s Day to discuss the arrangements for a celebration of life. We would recommend them to anyone requiring assistance following a bereavement.

    What a exceptional team friendly supportive ,Amazing send off for my Mum , Big Nan. The after support is next to none . Paul you did us proud and we as a family wish you all the best.

  • 5 Lynda Debenham 21st Dec 2023

    Sincere thanks for the beautiful funeral for my beloved son James. It was a lovely service and everybody present commented on this. I was supported to make choices unique to my son and it really did feel like it was tailored around him.

    A special thank you to Michelle who guided me every step of the way and went the extra mile to ensure things went smoothly. I arranged most things from a distance but need not have worried as I knew somebody was always at the other end of the phone. My son deserved the flawless occasion and I can highly recommend the Gallagher family to personalise
    the whole thing around a loved one's life. With heartfelt thanks.

  • 5 Kirsty Wilson 17th Dec 2023

  • 5 Nigel Brown 10th Dec 2023

    Professional service and attention to detail, they were in full contact at every stage of planning the funeral and I would highly recommend Gallagher Family Directors.

  • 5 Simon Royle 9th Dec 2023

    Gallagher's gave excellent service from our initial late night contact following the unexpected death through to the funeral. They understood that people cannot cope with details at times of great distress. Sam took the family through the whole process of arranging the funeral without any pressure but ensuring that all the paperwork etc was completed and all aspects considered.
    At the funeral Sam ushered the mourners to make best use of the seating for the significant numbers attending. He also guided the family through the funeral in a discrete manner.

  • 5 Sandra Kelly 4th Dec 2023

    The first person we met from Gallaghers when my dad passed away suddenly was Paul, who was so understanding and helpful. He made everything so much easier to cope with and guided us through the whole process.
     We met Michelle regarding arranging the service  and she was an absolute pleasure, making a sad and anxious experience bearable. 
    Gallaghers contacted us regularly with updates and to check how we were doing and I did not imagine there would be so much personal care and consideration.
    The service was beautiful- I can’t say anymore than that.
    Our whole family have said how grateful they are to Gallaghers and I could write so much more in gratitude to them.

  • 5 Craig Pitts 1st Dec 2023

    Gallagher's were without doubt, caring, considerate and just excellent in every aspect of my Mums funeral arrangements at this difficult time. Michelle and Paul just guided me through everything with compassion and were so professional. We even managed to create humour throughout the process which will last in my memory forever. Thankyou so much!

  • 5 Lydia Shelton 1st Dec 2023

    A very professional service with attention to detail both big and small. Would highly recommend. 

  • 5 Sandra Greenwood 28th Nov 2023

    Paul wilkinson & his team made our day stress free we didn't have to worry about anything all day , if there was something Paul had second guessed & was already on it . Paul went above & beyond & it felt really personal , thank you so much .

  • 5 Nick Peet 24th Nov 2023

    Gallaghers organised my mothers funeral very efficiently. Every person that I dealt with at Gallaghers was sympathetic and helpful, but I must specifically mention Paul Wilkinson who was our primary point of contact. Paul organised all the details of the service and dealt with all the necessary third parties so that the funeral was stress free and a fitting service for my mother. Paul was sympathetic and understanding throughout and I could not recommend him and Gallaghers more highly.

  • 5 Carol Brand 20th Nov 2023

    The family are so caring and kind, evething was taken out of our hands and they kept us informed both with dad's funeral and mum's earlier this year.
    All I can say is thank you

  • 5 Andrew Wilson 20th Nov 2023

    Cannot praise them highly enough. Everything you could want from a Funeral Director
