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.
"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)
"Through an absolute devastating time for me and my family, Sam and his family made us feel so comfortable. The amount of people that told us our dad's funeral was so beautiful — that they had never been to such a lovely heartfelt funeral before — really touched our hearts."
— Lauren Miller (about Sam)
"Paul you are one very special person, and I will be forever indebted to you for all your help and guidance. The care continues afterwards too — whether by a phone call or message, they are still caring for you."
— Ann Wood (about Paul)
"The kindness, compassion, and respect shown towards my husband and our family will never be forgotten. Paul Wilkinson provided amazing ongoing support throughout the entire process, making everything as seamless and stress-free as possible."
— Cathy Holmes (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 took us through all of the preparation start to finish and she 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)
