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  

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

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.

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 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.

  • 5 Lee Fish 25th Apr 2024

    Sam who looked after all aspects of my grandads funeral was efficient, professional and courteous throughout. I would highly recommend their services to anybody.

  • 5 Louise Riley 15th Apr 2024

  • 5 Yvonne Melvin 11th Apr 2024

    Mums funeral was carried out with the upmost respect and care. Nothing was too much trouble. As a family we were given time to grieve both before and during the funeral.  Attention to detail was evident and we couldn’t have chosen a better funeral directors. Many thanks to Paul. 

  • 5 Victoria Anderson 8th Apr 2024

    I can't recommend Gallagher's highly enough. I had not been through the funeral process before but we were led through everything in manageable chunks and in an exceptionally professional and respectful way. The day was just as we wanted it to be; their attention to detail was second to none.
    Sam was our contact there and he was just fantastic.
    Thank you very much for making such a horrible process, bearable.

    Thank you to all family and staff at Gallagher Family Funeral Directors, but in particular to Sam who was always empathetic and always caring. I could not have asked for better service and care during a devastatingly sad time in my life.

  • 5 Peter Bailey 23rd Mar 2024

    Caring professional service. Very helpful at a most unusual and upsetting time of life. Could not have managed without their kindly help. Many thanks.

  • 5 Roy Spink 23rd Mar 2024

    David and his family have been consummate professionals throughout. Listening carefully and advising accordingly. Every detail was perfect and respectful even to the point that David wore a Burnley FC tie in honour of the best and greatest friend I ever had.  I have no hesitation in recommending the Gallagher Family Funeral Service for those in need. Thank you all on behalf of John Henry Langstroth 

    Regards. Roy Spink.
