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. Sandra

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!

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.

    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 Charlotte Molloy 16th Nov 2023

    Very professional and compassionate service. Everything was covered well and went to plan on the day of the funeral despite some horrible weather conditions.

  • 5 Hayley Bentham 13th Nov 2023

    From the first point of contact Gallaghers showed compassion, care and empathy. Every communication with them was sincere and they had our families back. Simon in particular was our point of contact and dealt with our every query and wish thoughtfully. Communication was excellent and nothing at all was too much trouble. The result was a beautiful send off and we couldn't have been any happier under the circumstances. They just made a very difficult time so much more easier. Thankyou all so much! From all of Victoria's family.

  • 5 Jeanette Young 12th Nov 2023

We would thoroughly recommend Gallagher Family Funeral Directors to anyone who is unfortunate to lose a loved one.

  • 5 Rosie Kershaw 9th Nov 2023

    As a family we couldn't have asked for anymore. The support, care, help and advice we received was outstanding. Paul went above and beyond to help in anyway he possibly could, nothing was ever too much. There was constant contact every step of the way. We would 100% recommend Gallaghers funeral directors.

    We have used Gallaghers before and wouldn't hesitate to ask for their services again. It was the first time meeting Paul but he was very professional and nothing was too much trouble. A credit to Gallaghers. Thank you kindly for all your help

  • 5 Peter Hill 20th Oct 2023

    When my beloved wife passed away fairly suddenly during the August bank holidays, David & his team at Gallagher’s took care of everything. 
    This was to my first experience of having to make such arrangements, but with expert guidance from Simon at Gallagher’s, my daughter & sister in law. A funeral was arranged that turned out to be perfect from start to finish. 
    I would recommend Gallagher’s Family Funeral Directors to anyone who suffers the loss of a loved one. I know from experience that you & your loved one will be in good hands.
    Thank you Simon, David & your whole team.
    Best wishes.

    I have nothing but praise for the staff at Gallagher's funeral services.They were very compassionate and professional when organising my mother's funeral.
    Special thanks to Paul Wilkinson whom attended our home and explained all the details of the funeral, and made sure all mum's wishes were meet.
