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 Gary Moorby 30th Oct 2022

    David Gallagher has acted on behalf of other family members and friends. We have always been impressed with the level of service and professionalism given and did not hesitate to use him again. He is always on hand when needed to give support and advice and to solve any difficult issues that might arise. Thank you David for looking after my brother and ensuring he received the care and send off he deserved.

  • 5 Alexandra Getcliffe 28th Oct 2022

    Such a warm and kind family run business. The service provided in arranging the direct cremation was excellent and very professional from start to finish. Thank you to Paul and everyone else we hand contact with during this difficult time. When we collected our loved one David Gallagher personally met my mother and took time to chat to my mum and genuinely showed an interest in the memories she shared, this was very comforting to my mother. I would definitely recommend the Gallagher family to take care of your loved one. The direct cremation was more personal being arranged through a family business.

  • 5 Christina Fothergill 6th Oct 2022

    The service we received from The Gallagher Family Funeral Directors was exemplary. 

    When my Mum passed away it was the single most difficult time of my life and I have never felt so scared and vulnerable. 

    I’d never before realised the importance of choosing the right funeral directors… and why would I? I’d never had to organise a funeral before. Ultimately what you are choosing is the final people who will take care of your loved one, who will guide you to saying your final goodbyes. It’s important you have the right people to support you during this time. 

    From my first meeting with David, when I turned up unannounced I knew that I had found the right place. 

    Simon was our Funeral Director and throughout it all - the planning, the day of the funeral, and after- he treated us with patience, kindness and respect. 

    The funeral itself was as perfect as could be. It was dignified, peaceful and conducted in a manner that offered my Mum the love and respect she deserved. 

    The minister held the service at a gentle pace, made us feel at ease, really taking the time to offer the comfort that we needed. 

    I loved that we could have a photo tribute with backing track. It made the service that bit more personal and gave people the opportunity to smile and reflect on my Mum as she was, as they knew her. 

    There will never be sufficient words to express the gratitude I feel towards Simon and colleagues but from the bottom of my heart and on behalf of my Mum and my family: Thank you so much. 

  • 5 Howard Marshall 6th Oct 2022

    All round thoughtful service 

  • 5 Gemma Sayer 3rd Oct 2022

    This was the worst time of my life. Michelle and Sam made the funeral really personal. Michelle went above and beyond and gave the my sister’s funeral a personal touch. 
    Thank you so much xx

  • 5 Julie Craig 3rd Oct 2022

    I cannot praise Gallagher's highly enough.

    Paul, who officiated at our mother's service was professional, compassionate and above all a wonderful human being.

    We had never had to do anything like planning a funeral before and at a time when everything is so raw with grief Gallagher's held our hand.

    All members of the staff went above and beyond keeping us informed at all stages and dealing with all our family queries in a thoughtful manner.

    Special mentions to Sam and Michelle also.

    Thankyou Gallagher's for easing our burden.
