Gallaghers were recommended to us by a friend and we couldn’t have been looked after better. Sam took such care to support us to give Joy the funeral we wanted for her. He was professional and empathetic - perfect. Thank you Sam!  And I can see that a big benefit of an independent funeral director is that the funeral really can be personal in every detail.

As a family we were extremely pleased with the sensitive way in which David Gallagher, his son Sam and their employees managed our dads funeral arrangements. We would thoroughly recommend them.

Can’t thank Simon and the team enough for making what is a difficult time for us go 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.

  • 5 Denise Scully 6th Mar 2022

    What can I say, perfect service, nothing too much trouble day, night or weekend to deal with. From the very first phone call we as a family were treat with the utmost respect and compassion. Our face-to-face meeting was held with dignity. Our dad was well looked after as were the bereaved family. Mr David Lawson looked after us from start to finish leaving us with nothing to worry about. I would definitely recommend David Gallaghers to conduct your funeral requirements.

  • 5 Kay Fern 5th Mar 2022

    Thank you so much to Sam and the staff at David Gallagher's. Not only were they courteous, polite and friendly but gentle, caring and understanding of the difficult decisions you have to make. Thank you for looking after mum.

  • 5 Elisabeth ( Libby ) Nowell 9th Feb 2022

    Having previously used Gallagher Family Funeral Directors we did not hesitate to use them again following the loss of our Mum. Their service throughout was second to none and every stage from our initial contact right through to our Mum’s funeral service was professionally administered and was dignified, sensitive and respectful of our wishes. Nothing was too much trouble for David and his team and we would certainly have no reservations in recommending them.

    From the first contact Gallagher's have been first rate in their service; caring, supportive and sensitive. They were able to provide a very personal funeral and after care. David especially made a difficult time so much easier to negotiate. Thank you

  • 5 Karen Sullivan 1st Feb 2022

    Gallagher's provided an excellent and highly professional service for our client in particularly difficult circumstances, as unfortunately we could not trace family members in time to fill in the many blanks in Miss Sale's life. Thank you very much Simon for all your time and effort in going the extra mile to afford Miss Sale such kindness and respect through the provision of a meaningful and dignified funeral service. We greatly appreciate all your time and effort in these difficult circumstances.

  • 5 Margaret Halliday 31st Jan 2022

    I cannot praise David Gallagher's enough they have been a tremendous support and have helped me every step of the way, they are very efficient and very understanding, they keep you fully informed and treat you with every kindest and respect, we used David Gallagher's in 2018 when our son died and I had no hesitation in using them for my recent husbands death, I highly recommend David Gallagher's funeral services.

    Many thanks to David’s team, but especially David Lawson who was our point of contact. He arranged everything meticulously and was very precise and thorough about all the details. Nothing was too much trouble and questions and queries were answered in a concise, sympathetic manner. Contact by phone and email was done with care and kindness. Once again, many thanks.

  • 5 David Mullen 19th Jan 2022

    An excellent service was provided David and his staff when dealing with all aspects of Florences funeral care. I couldn’t praise David and his staff too highly for the care they take in attending to the needs of the family. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Gallagher Family Funeral Services.

  • 5 Robin Appleyard 17th Dec 2021

    Gallaghers offer an extremely sensitive and professional service at one of the hardest times of a families life, unfortunately we have had to use their services twice, but would not have used any other company…
    Simon and team have gone above and beyond with their understanding of our needs… their calm acceptance of our families grief has been overwhelming…
    Thank you to the entire team .
    Judith, Robin Appleyard
