Gallagher’s arranged the funeral for my father. We received a professional service from start to finish. Paul was the Funeral Director & supported us with empathy and understanding, keeping us regularly updated. His attention to detail was excellent and the funeral was flawless and was exactly what we wanted. I am grateful for his support & understanding during a very difficult time. I would definitely use them again & highly recommend their services.

The family and I were very pleased at the way Simon made arranging the funeral for Billy as easy as possible.  It was a stressful time for all the family and Simonrealised that we needed his expertise to have thekind of funeral we wanted and felt Billy would have wanted.  It was a comfort that everything went so smoothly.

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.

    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..

    We could not have asked for anything more, Gallagher's made the whole process easier for the family. The whole family was proud of the service they had helped us sort out and my gran would have been proud of her funeral. A big thank you to Sam, excellent from the beginning and throughout. I would highly recommend Gallagher's everything to the highest standard, they are very respectful and deliver on everything they say even when there is time constraints. Once again a very big thank you to Gallagher's
