From the moment when Sam Gallagher came to collect my recently  deceased sister from her home to the final moment of her committal, we (the family and my sister’s carers) were cared for and advised by Paul Wilkinson on each step to take.  My family are not Christian so some of our requests for the funeral were out of the ordinary. Paul received each one with respect and they were all implemented with such warmth that it lessened our grief. I have no hesitation in recommending Gallaghers and also the Golden Charter Funeral plan. Louise Doffman

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.

    Their warm, friendly and caring manner and their attention to detail enabled my father’s funeral to be perfect and exactly what he would have wanted. Many thanks.

  • 5 Steven Newiss 24th Oct 2024

    The care Paul gave to our family was very comforting at a difficult time. He made me feel he genuinely wanted to make things go as easily as possible and kept us informed throughout the organisation of mum’s funeral.

  • 5 Helen Fox 21st Oct 2024

    When mum died, literally 4months to the day after dad died,my brother and I had no hesitation to use the services again of Gallaghers Funeral Directors. Their service is impeccable!
    Mum was collected promptly and we knew she was in excellent hands. Paul once again took us under his wing and respectfully guided us through everything. Nothing is ever too much trouble and he handled situations with warmth, care and professionalism. I felt confident that everything would run smoothly with the support and dedication given. Mum indeed had a lovely send off. Paul showed real understanding and empathy and definitely goes the extra mile to ensure everything goes to plan and his reassurance through devastating times were very much appreciated.
    All staff were very friendly and respectful whenever I rang or called in. They are top of the league in professionalism and friendliness. They certainly make a difficult task easier and they actually do treat you as part of the family!! Totally trustworthy. 5 star rating for sure!
    Thank you all, for everything!

  • 5 Susan Stevens 21st Oct 2024

    We cannot praise the kindness, attention and professional approach of every member of the team. Special thanks to Sam Gallagher for guiding us through the whole process.

  • 5 Iain Harris 18th Oct 2024

    Gallagher's were and still are most attentive. They operated with curtesy and consideration at all times. Nothing was too much. Their kindness and compassion is and always will be most appreciated.

  • 5 Nick Laycock 14th Oct 2024

    Paul organised a fantastic send off for our loved one, he listened to our every need and supported us fully, and clearly cares for his job and treated us and our loved one with so much respect. Thank you Paul.

  • 5 Sharon Almond 1st Oct 2024

    Gallagher's were amazing. From the night my husband died suddenly and unexpectedly to the day of the funeral and beyond.

    They were there at any time I needed them, easy to contact by phone and email.

    They were also able to accommodate all my requests regarding vehicles, flowers and finding a local green burial location. The celebrant they recommended was also amazing.

    I like to plan. They were able to accommodate all my requests and they also kept me updated at each point so I was comfortable that everything was in place.

    The funeral went better than I expected and quite a few people said it was the best they had attended. It was a great send off for an amazing man.

  • 5 Bridget Carroll 30th Sep 2024

    Thank you David Sam and all your team. You went above and beyond and felt personal from one family to the other who have known each other many years.My dads wishes were carried to the letter we all did him proud. Thank you xx

  • 5 Roy Towler 30th Sep 2024

    I was very pleased with how Paul guided us through the whole journey with compassion and understanding. Everybody was very sympathetic. Thank you Roy

  • 5 Karen House 29th Sep 2024

    Paul was professional on the day, extremely sensitive and caring. He didn't seem to mind that he was soaked, as the rain was torrential - instead he cared for us the whole time, ensuring we knew what was happening and asking us about the small decisions which needed to be made. We could not have wished for a more caring, empathetic, kind and efficient person to take us through a day which none of us wanted. Thank you.

  • 5 Jeff Wilson 14th Sep 2024

    We were well looked after by David

  • 5 Catherine Waterhouse 8th Sep 2024

    This is the second time i have used Gallagher Funeral Directors and they have never let us down. Simon handled the entire process with care and compassion and nothing was too much trouble. 

    I highly recommend anyone who is needing help arranging a funeral. 

    Thank you to all the team at Gallagers.

  • 5 Gary Procter 2nd Sep 2024

    Faultless service . Very well liked after and would not hesitate to recommend Gallaghers 
    Thank you 

  • 5 Rachel Wilkinson 30th Aug 2024

    What can I say? The incredible team at Gallaghers make the very best of the worst of times. They understand all the emotions you’re going through, they work for you to take the pressure off, advise you with empathy and true care for the relatives. Obviously they take time to look after the most important person. The person you have lost, and they treat them with love and dignity. They are a committed team. 
    The best choice you could make when you’re at your lowest. Thank you all. 

  • 5 Neil Cooke 25th Aug 2024

    The whole package you gave me was excellent.
    Paul was most understanding.
    So through a very difficult time your team made it all a bit more bearable

  • 5 Janette Banham 23rd Aug 2024

    From the moment David Galleghers were approached to take care of my mother they were quite simply amazing. Kind, considerate, understanding. Gently guiding me through the whole process of creating a wonderful, beautiful service which ultimately encapsulated who my mum was. Although at a time of deep sorrow Sam at Gallaghers was lovely to talk to and made the whole experience from start to finish uncomplicated, explained every aspect of the process which resulted in a wonderful celebration of mum's life.

  • 5 Andrew Stacey 16th Aug 2024

    Gallagher’s were kind, organised and caring from the first phone call through to after the cremation.  Paul offered advice and support each step of the way and ensured that the whole process was a lot easier than it might have otherwise been.
    If the need arose, I would not hesitate to call Gallagher’s again.
