Gallagher Family Funeral Directors

5 Rod Fotherby 3rd Feb 2025

I found David and his staff very empathetic and made the arrangements for Janet's funeral and the day as good as it could be under the very sad circumstances. Everything was explained clearly and delivered very professionally.
Thank you

5 Rosalie Swire 2nd Feb 2025

My first experience of supporting a family member with the arrangements and details for her husbands funeral, Paul was respectful, attentive, supportive and accommodating in all of our requests.  

5 Kate Taylor 1st Feb 2025

In the most difficult time that our family has experienced, Gallaghers made everything easier. David and his team showed us all such compassion and treated dad with the dignity that he deserved. We knew that he was in safe hands and we knew that they would do their very best for him and us.
David helped us every step of the way and on the day of dad's funeral, everything was planned meticulously meaning that we could focus on saying goodbye to dad without any stress whatsoever.
Gallaghers provide so many personal touches and we know that nobody could have looked after dad or us any better than they did.

5 Irene Duxbury 31st Jan 2025

Paul Wilkinson at Gallaghers was absolutely great from start to finish organising dad's funeral. Checked in on us regularly and kept us informed of the arrangements all the way. Couldn't praise Paul enough

5 Malcolm Maskill 26th Jan 2025

Paul Wilkinson and his team provided a very compassionate, efficient and personal service right through the funeral arrangements and on the day. They could not have been more helpful at a very stressful and emotional time. Everything went like clockwork which was very much appreciated by all the family and mourners. Highly recommended.

5 David Hardy 23rd Jan 2025

I am very happy to recommend these funeral directors. Having been in the sad and unfortunate situation where I needed a funeral aranging I contacted gallagers. From the first e mail and the first meeting in person they were very helpfull and professional [and caring] I hope its many years before I need the service again but If I do I will be going back to these people. I thought this was going to be a hard thing to do, but they made it easy and straight forward. But also letting me be involved as this was my wish. They let me and my family carry my wife's coffin from the hurst [this was under the instructions that they gave us]...A big thankyou
From Me for the care you gave my late wife.. David Hardy..

5 Agnes Green 23rd Jan 2025

5 Sue Yearby 17th Jan 2025

Exceptional service from start to finish.
Simon and the team guided and supported us throughout this difficult time, with upmost respect, compassion and care. Thank you for making the process seem easier. Would highly recommend.

5 Catherine Sibley 12th Jan 2025

The compassion, professionalism and care given to us was outstanding.  Simon was so personable I felt I could ask any question, nothing was too much trouble.  The weather conditions on the day were extreme ice and snow, Simon and his colleagues were caring and professional and Dad was transported with the utmost care, as were the mourners.  I would have no hesitation in recommending Gallaghers, they are outstanding.  With much thanks and gratitude Cathy Sibley.

David,Adel and their team were excellent.This is an independent family business and they have been arranging funeral for 30 years.Their attention to detail and support for the family was impressive..The printed order of service,designed by David,was beautiful.They also organised an on line video link for friends and family who could not get to Skipton.
Many Thanks and Best Wishes.

5 Helen Percy 11th Jan 2025

Paul was very supportive and helped prepare a funeral full of touches specific to my Mum.
He skillfully negotiated some tricky family dynamics.
The funeral went very well, despite thick snow and ice.
We are very grateful to him for his care and great communication.

5 Julie Bastow 7th Jan 2025

My sister and I would like to personally thank Sam and all the team for all your kind support and guidance in helping us to organize Mum and Dad's funerals.  You made the whole process very beautiful for both of them, especially with us having to arrange their funerals just 12 weeks apart, which has been extremely hard for us both to come to terms with, but I know it will become easier for us both in time.  

A special thank you to Paul too for collecting and taking care of mum and dad, and for all the support he gave to us both in reassuring us that they were both in safe hands, and explaining everything to us both at such an emotional time, whilst being extremely supportive. 
 
I think they would have been very proud in what we chose for their funerals with your guidance and support throughout. 

Nothing was too much trouble and everything was just perfect, even down to finding specific flowers for both of them. 
 
Th ... e empathy shown at both of their funerals by you and your fantastic team was outstanding and we will be forever grateful to you all for making them very special and personal to our family and friends.
 
We have both had lots of comments about how fantastic you and the team were, and everyone has said that they have never been to such well organized and truly beautiful funerals, a credit to you all.
 
Tracey and I will be forever grateful to you and the team and we would highly recommend you to friends and family. 

Thank you

Highly recommended!

5 Jen Scatchard 28th Dec 2024

I can’t thank Paul and the rest of the team enough for all their help and support whilst planning my Mum’s funeral.  They made it all so easy, as pain free as possible and were on hand every step of the way to help with anything that needed doing.  

5 Carolyn Edwards 24th Dec 2024

From the start of the process, until the end our Mum and our family were treated with great respect and dignity. The whole thing could have so easily been overwhelming, but it was made easy and seamless. The service on the day couldn't have gone better. Our Celebrant Helen was lovely.

Our Mum was given a very loving send off, and her family felt cared for too.
Would highly recommend Gallaghers Funeral Directors. Thank you.

5 Philip Sweeney 23rd Dec 2024

My wife died very suddenly of a return of cancer that we all thought she had overcome 3 years ago. She was originally from Thailand but working in Skipton at the time of her death.
Paul Wilkinson dealt with all the arrangements in a thoroughly understanding, kind and culturally sensitive and considerate but professional manner from start to finish.
I could not have asked for more from him.
Gallaghers are highly recommended to help with one of the most sad and difficult matters that anyone can face.
Thank you Paul.

5 Maureen Dawson 22nd Dec 2024

I cannot fault Gallaghers at all. I dealt with Simon Wheeler and he was superb in every way. Kind, couteous and caring. Everything thing was how I wanted it to be and ran perfectly. Nothing was too much trouble and there were no hitches at all. Highly recommend.

5 Anne Crossley 10th Dec 2024

Our family were helped and guided through every step of the way. The service, although such a sad occasion for us, was all we wished for as a mixture of the love and happiness the family knows. Our gratitude goes to Gallagher Funeral Services for helping us through such a hard time.

5 Anja Longley 2nd Dec 2024

Paul has been amazing from the very start, everything i asked for Alan was done perfectly and with respect and compassion words will never describe how grateful I am.

5 Louise Doffman 19th Nov 2024

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.
