Gallaghers have been so brilliant from first meeting to the day of the funeral. It's such a hard time but this company are not only professional but caring and personable. They guided us through with such care and compassion. Special thank you to Paul who constantly checked in and made sure the whole family were OK. Thank you

We can't praise David and the team highly enough. Their sensitivity, warm manner and professionalism were all flawless. Not a business anyone wants to use too often, but we would 100% recommend Gallagher Family Funeral Directors.

Joan Greenwood 15th Jul 2024

I cannot praise them highly enough. Not only were they extremely professional but David was very warm and caring and made a sad experience much easier in the knowledge that Peter was in good caring hands. At all stages of the planning David kept us informed and reasured that all was going well. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

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 Fox 15th Jun 2024

    There are no words to express how grateful we are to have had the guiding hand of Gallaghers Funeral Directors after the recent death of dad. Paul was there for the family throughout it all, offering support and compassion through every step. He would also check in regularly to see that mum was ok too.
    As complete novices at organising a funeral, he helped my brother and I bring everything together to make the send off for dad perfect. Questions that I had, however small, were warmly answered and we as a family felt fully supported.
    They truly look after you before, during and even after the funeral too.
    Everyone we met from Gallaghers were warm and compassionate and made the whole experience relaxed and we had full confidence that our dad was in safe hands and care.
    Thank you for making a hard task bearable and helping dad achieve the send off he deserved.

  • 5 Sarah Thompson 11th Jun 2024

    Paul made it so easy for us as I said an asset to your team

  • 5 Peter Blagg 5th Jun 2024

    A really excellent service, incredibly sensitive, personable and professional. Paul at Gallagher Family Funeral Directors provided excellent family support and organisation of my father's arrangements. At such a sad time for us, we felt genuinely cared for and advised and were able to chose funeral arrangements that we felt were right for dad. It was a very personal and tailored approach.

  • 5 Fiona Thompson 26th May 2024

    From start to finish, Paul at Gallaghers was fantastic. His care, support, and guidance was overwhelming. At such a difficult time, he made sure my dad's service and final farewell went smoothly. Such a caring man. He made me feel that dad and his service were as important to him as it was for me. He offered suggestions and alot of guidance, giving me time to consider every detail to ensure everything was in place and what I wanted for dad. I cannot thank him enough, for helping make dad's final farewell perfect for him. I know there are people behind the scenes who need acknowledgement. So I thank you all, but special thanks to Paul. He's perfect at his role.

    My family and I would like to sincerely thank the staff and Paul Wilkinson funeral director for all the kindness, respect and dignity you showed, following the loss of my father. You carefully and gently guided us through organising the funeral . You provided reassurance and opportunity to say last goodbyes privately in the chapel of rest .

    David and his team were excellent in every aspect from the initial meeting my wife had with David before she died through to the service at Oakworth Crematorium. I can’t speak too highly of each staff member that I met, a credit to David Gallaghers business. Thank you once again David for everything. John Arran
