Gateway Funeral Services: Family firm’ s care and compassion

For more than 15 years, Gateway Funeral Services has been more than merely a provider of a service - it has been a trusted companion to many during life’s most difficult times.

Gateway was established in 2008 as a small business serving Birkenshaw and the surrounding area.

Run by husband and wife team Richard and Emma Arnold, through word of mouth and reputation for caring the business has grown – and now sons Bailey and Charlie are part of the family team, too.

It has also opened sites in Batley and Wibsey.In his time working for another funeral director, Richard saw how families struggled, not only with the loss of a loved one but with all the logistical demands this placed upon them.

“I wanted to create a space where families could breathe,” said Richard. “One that would feel more like a home than a business.”

“Our approach is simple,” added Emma. “Every person who walks through our doors is treated like family.”

“As well as services, we offer support, guidance and a shoulder to lean on.”

One family recently told them: “In our darkest hour, Gateway became a light. They didn’t just take care of arrangements – they took care of us.”

Gateway offers a truly personalised service, free from the need to adhere to corporate policies and profit margins: instead the focus is on high-quality care at affordable prices.

For example, a fully attended cremation service which includes a coffin, hearse, staff on the day, celebrant fees and a Scatterpod for cremated remains is only £3,050.

Emma concluded: “At Gateway, it’s not about saying goodbye, it’s about honouring life with dignity and remembering that even in grief, love endures.”
