I cannot be more grateful to the whole team at Gallaghers, but especially to Sam.  He has been utterly professional and supportive throughout the process and has made an otherwise sad occasion into a superbly managed celebration of my father’s life.  Thankyou 

Pamela McSharry 24th Feb 2023

All staff showed empathy and were very supportive as we endured seven weeks of waiting for the funeral to take place, through no fault of their own. On the day of the funeral, all ran smoothly and the staff were professional and also friendly which we considered a perfect balance.

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.

    Over the years we have had reason to use the excellent service provided by David and the team three times. They have never failed to deliver an outstanding level of service and support. Any question answered, help offered before you know you need it and support given when navigating the many tasks which are required to be completed. At Mother's funeral as it was spring I asked if it was possible to have some snowdrops included in her spray (her favorite flower). I know its not a flower florists can usually provide so didnt expect to see any. Simon very kindly picked some on the morning of the funeral and laid them on the coffin for us. That is the level of care and attention to detail which makes all the difference. Thank you doesnt begin to cover it..

  • 5 Linda Waterhouse 13th Jan 2023

    I have never organised a funeral before and it couldn`t have gone better with Simon`s help.. My Mum had a Golden Charter plan in place which was a great help but everything went well from the `Order of service`, flowers, minister and Oakworth crematoruim. We were all very happy and grateful for everything they did..Thanks to all..
