The history of the business traces back to 1880s Brooklyn, where John J. Gallagher Undertakers was founded on North 8th Street by Irish immigrants seeking to build a sanctuary for grief and remembrance. A second location, John J. Gallagher Sons Funeral Home, was later established on Aberdeen Street in Brooklyn before it became part of New York City in 1898. In 1925, John's son Arthur founded Arthur A. Gallagher Funeral Home in Richmond Hill, Queens, located on the service road of the Van Wyck Expressway. That facility served families for over six decades. Today, the business is led by William J. Cassidy, the owner and operator and a fifth-generation funeral director. Cassidy graduated from Nassau Community College with a business degree in 2006 and a mortuary science degree in 2008, becoming a licensed funeral director in 2009. He served in the Army Rangers from 2001 to 2004, with two deployments to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. He is a member of the American Legion Post #144 in Williston Park, a registered volunteer with The Gallant Few, and a member of the Ed Smith Mineola Lions Club. The staff consists of licensed professionals available to answer questions regarding services.
