Our experience with Gallaghers has been first class. Sam's excellent attention to detail and empathy has helped the whole family and despite being a sad time, the funeral arrangements were organised in place and we were never not sure of what we had to do. Thank you!

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 Graham Burke 7th Jun 2024

    Paul is an asset to your company professional at all times ,supporting, advising and guiding us through a difficult period.
    He ensured our wishes were met to the high standards your company demands and delivers(you arranged my mothers too).
    My dad would have been very proud and delighted with how it went and how it was planned and prepared,as I was.
    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 Andrew Crawshaw 3rd Jun 2024

    Excellent service from start to finish

  • 5 Nicola Rickaby 3rd Jun 2024

    Paul and all of the team were so very kind and helpful throughout the process and enabled us to have a beautiful, seamless service.

    Can't recommend their service highly enough.

  • 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.

  • 4 Allyson Newiss 22nd May 2024

    Newiss family we were all very pleased with Gallagers  funeral services, they were professional and attentive throughout .     A special mention to Paul who took care of all our requests and guided us sensitively throughout the process and we would have no problem in recommending there services to others . 

  • 5 Debra Burgess 17th May 2024

    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 .
    Paul was professional throughout and communicated clearly which relieved any worries we had. 
    Would definitely recommend Gallagher  Family  Funeral Directors  

  • 5 John Arran 16th May 2024

    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

  • 5 Simon Platt 14th May 2024

    Simon Wheeler of Gallagher set the perfect tone of formality and solemnity without being overly so. We were well looked after throughout the process and especially on the day of the funeral. Thank you.

  • 5 Claire Crenigan 9th May 2024

    From my very first phone call to Gallagher’s, to inquire about arrangements for my Mum’s sudden and traumatic passing Sam went above and beyond to guide me through what turned out to be a very complexed process.
    Sam and his family showed great professionalism during a very difficult time for me. They made themselves available at all times during the process for any questions or requests I had. This relieved much of the anxiety knowing that things were being taken care of in a proper and professional manner.
    They were kind, compassionate and very understanding and did their best to help me as much as possible.

    Thank you to all at Gallagher Family Funeral especially Sam, I will be forever grateful. 🙏 

  • 5 Sarah Holdsworth 6th May 2024

    Gallaghers organised both my parents funerals. On both occasions, they provided a professional, dignified service. On the recent funeral day for dad, they were respectful and helpful when telling us what to do and when etc. They were the perfect balance of professional but friendly, especially Sam.

  • 5 Natalie Wood 4th May 2024

    David ensured that all our wishes were included. He listened to our requests and worked hard to sort them all. He kept us informed of all the stages and was very professional in every aspect. The funeral went very smoothly and the service received was excellent. The staff who work there are professional and supportive. Would recommend. 

  • 5 Stephen Murray 2nd May 2024

    David and his team provided an excellent service at what was a difficult time.
    Thank you.

  • 5 Vivienne Harris 2nd May 2024

    From the first phone call we were treated professionally and friendly.  Nothing was too much trouble.  They guided us through a stressful time and we were confidant our loved one was being treated with respect and dignity.  First class service.

  • 5 Janelle Riley 29th Apr 2024

    Absolutely wonderful service - Paul helped us with our choices;  the route so we could include the Worth Valley line on Dads final journey, the fabulous train coffin, the service planning, finding Sandra our lovely Celebrant, and was so caring, gentle and kind with us. Can’t recommend their services enough in the awful and heartbreaking time following our Dads death. It made the whole day tailored to what Dad would’ve loved. Outstanding service and above and beyond care. Cannot thank or recommend Paul and the team enough. 

  • 5 Sue Dransfield 29th Apr 2024

    An outstanding service from a truly professional team. I feel Sam went above and beyond to make the experience perfect for me and my family. We were guided through the process with the utmost respect, kindness and dignity from the first contact to the end of the process. Everything was explained and every question was answered. I cannot thank Sam and the team enough. I would highly recommend this company, Dad’s funeral was perfect.

  • 5 Lynda Hutchins 27th Apr 2024

    At every stage, Sam was kind and compassionate. He took the trouble to talk to my brother and I to find out a little about our family - not in an intrusive way but out of a genuine interest in people

  • 5 Julian Brown 25th Apr 2024

    Paul made what was a difficult time for the family easy by taking on all the arrangements, including organising the wake, while keeping us informed every step of the way. It is the second time the family have had to use the services of Gallaghers in the last 4 months and would highly recommend them to others who find themselves requiring a funeral director.
