Gallagher Family Funeral Directors has looked after families across Airedale for 34 years. We are based at Airedale House in Utley, Keighley, about 6 miles from Bingley. We care for families in Bingley and across Airedale, and our team is on hand and on call 24/7.
Funeral directors Bingley: how we help families
We look after everything, from the first phone call to the day itself. After you call, we ask a few simple questions and arrange a meeting of about an hour. You can meet us at Airedale House, speak by video call, or we can visit you at home in Bingley.
Funeral choices
Every funeral should reflect the life it celebrates, and we offer a range to suit different wishes and budgets:
- Local direct cremation, a simple and dignified option from £1,595
- Bespoke funerals, where you choose every detail, traditional or alternative, religious or non-religious
- Pre-paid funeral plans, if you would like to plan ahead
Our prices are clear from the start, and you will always receive an itemised estimate before anything is agreed.
