Funeral planning involves many details, and it's important that everything is taken care of in a timely manner, from arranging transportation to coordinating with other services.

Above all it provides professionalism and integrity of the highest standards.

The company - with branches in Birkenshaw, Wibsey, Batley and Denby Dale - offers a range of funeral packages to suit all budgets.

All prices are completely transparent, so your wishes and budget can be taken into account, achieving the most appropriate balance between the two.

Gateway Funeral Services was set up in 2008 by Richard Arnold, who had always wanted to be a funeral director. His wife, Emma, joined the company in 2012 after the birth of their fourth child.

Both Cleckheaton born and bred, they take pride in serving the local community.

Arnold said: "It’s an oft-repeated saying that things are not always what they seem at first sight – and this is especially true in the field of funeral directors.

"Many apparently small, independent businesses, are in reality no such thing, often having been taken over at some point by a large chain.

"So although they might retain their long-established name and operate from the same premises, they are merely a branch of a much bigger company, tied to practices and prices set by a remote head office.

"However, anyone who chooses to entrust their arrangements to Gateway Funeral Services can rest assured that this is not the case with this most authentic of family companies.

"Unlike the majority of chain funeral directors who offer a series of set packages, often missing out desired features or including unwanted ones, Gateway’s approach is to let customers know what every element will cost and, if desired, how to make savings without compromising the funeral in any way."
