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 can't thank Gallagher's enough for the 5 star service we received during the difficult time after losing my Dad. I would especially like to thank Mr Paul Wilkinson for his care and attention to detail. It was truly a memorable day. 💖

    Gallagher Family Funeral Directors  arranged my husband’s funeral they were warm, dignified, caring and professional. 


    At a time when you are broken, David and his team carefully carried us through the whole process and made sure everything was managed beautifully.

    The team supported us and provided us with a dignified, personalised and fitting service for my wonderful husband who I miss every day.

    On top of that, Michelle was incredibly gracious, warm and kind to our family. 

  • 5 Carl Payne 24th Jul 2023

  • 5 Bernadette Gill 17th Jul 2023

    From the first call to Sam the whole experience arranging the funeral was excellent. It didn't matter how many times i called i felt it was ok to do so. They explained the processes. Paul was the funeral director and when i was distressed called the coroner for me. The coroner called me back within minutes then Paul called me back to check not only that the coroner did follow up but that i was ok too. I felt they went above and beyond what i expected. They arranged the flowers which were beyond expectations and Sandra the celebrant truly delivered a eulogy that made the funeral a positive celebration of mums life and so many commented how they would like a similar service. Thank you Gallaghers. 

  • 5 Karen Crossley 17th Jul 2023

    Our initial contact out of office hours was with Paul Gallagher who undertook all initial arrangements very professionally. From then onwards we were able to work with Simon Wheeler who was extremely helpful, he had a practical approach, kept us informed throughout, with timely checks to ensure all was in process and on  schedule.The service this company provided was exceptional and we would highly recommended them.

  • 5 Margaret Taylor 4th Jun 2023

    We were treated with respect and efficiency from our first call. The same person dealt with us from the beginning, all the way through and was helpful in every small detail to make sure things were exactly how we wanted them to be with kindness and patience.

  • 5 Gerald Fryer 2nd Jun 2023

    From the very beginning of collecting our late dad from home, to arranging the flowers, wake, viewing of our dad, the funeral and the after care of the ashes, Sam and his team showed nothing but professionalism, care, respect, dignity, kindness and made a very hard sad time for us as smooth and perfect as possible. Sam was always there to answer any question, calm any worry and made our "celebration of life" of our dad beautiful. He is an outstanding young man and would not hesitate to contact him should we need his services as we know it would be done with 100% care and attention to detail. He felt like a friend of the family and he had our best interests at heart.
    Thank you again Sam (and team) for everything you have done.
    Christine, Rachel, Gerald and family

  • 5 Stephanie Spence 22nd May 2023

    David, Sam, Paul and all the team handled Mum' s funeral with compassion, patience and efficiency, both in the planning period and on the day itself, which ran very smoothly and was a lovely tribute to Mum. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

  • 5 Steve Sayers 22nd May 2023

    My Mother passed and was fortunate that a friend worked for Gallagher's. I did not want a discount but a good send-off for my mum. Paul was excellent and professional with the whole thing. Where possible he would come to me to go through everything and it made the whole process easier. His attention to detail and Gallagher's options for everything were amazing. What was a hard time was made that little bit easier and would recommend these to anyone who wants a professional, courteous, and understanding service. Thank you Gallagher's and Paul for all that you did.
