Gallagher Family Funeral Directors is an independent, family-owned funeral business established in 1993, originally opening on Bradford Road, Keighley before relocating to Airedale House, Utley in 2004. Led by David and Adele Gallagher, who together bring over 30 years of experience to the industry, the business has grown into a professional and highly regarded team dedicated to serving families across Keighley and the surrounding area. Their son Sam joined the business in 2021, helping guide it into its next chapter while maintaining the family's well-established reputation for care and compassion.
The team at Gallagher Family Funeral Directors prides itself on an exceptional level of care, attention to detail, and empathy, offering support to families 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Their modern facilities at Airedale House include a chapel of rest and climate-controlled care facilities, and they are currently developing a new Rose Cottage Suite as part of ongoing refurbishment works.
From simple, dignified cremations to elaborate, fully bespoke celebrations of life, Gallagher Family Funeral Directors offers a wide range of funeral services tailored to reflect the personality and wishes of every individual. With 100% price transparency and a fully guided service from start to finish, families can trust that every detail will be handled with professionalism, dignity, and heartfelt respect.
"David helped and advised us from start to finish. His firm had the Memorial Stone transported from Keighley to St Albans crematorium. Everything was completed to our satisfaction. We recommend wholeheartedly Mr Gallagher's firm for any such undertaking."
— Beenaduth Kumar Pitteea (about David Gallagher)
"When I first met Sam he showed so much care and respect towards my grandma and my family — in that moment we knew we were going to be in safe hands."
— M Alison (about Sam)
"I am so grateful to Sam for walking me through every step of the way with great care and compassion and for taking that weight off my shoulders. Thank you Sam for all your help and support over the most difficult year, it really means a lot."
— Sammy Jones (about Sam)
"Paul Wilkinson was incredible. He was sympathetic, knowledgeable and totally professional. At all times he kept us informed and would accommodate our requests. Gallaghers made the whole process a lot easier on the family at this difficult time."
— Steve Casey (about Paul Wilkinson)
"Words cannot describe what an incredible woman Hayley is — she looked after my grandma from start to finish! Every single person that attended the funeral said they've never attended a funeral that was done so perfectly!"
— M Alison (about Hayley)
"We met Hayley as strangers, but we left feeling like family! She was so warm and welcoming, took us through all of the preparation start to finish and was absolutely amazing. Being there was a time constraint, they managed to get everything together very quickly. The service was absolutely beautiful and we feel like we gave our mum a wonderful send off!"
— Patty P (about Hayley)
