From start to finish the service and standard of care we received for my mums funeral was outstanding . The whole team were honestly amazing and a special shout out to Jo who really went out of her way with kindness , support and attention to detail like we were her own family . John and Steve  took care of every detail and the day although sad was a day I will always remember . I cannot praise Albins enough and on behalf of my family we  thank you from the bottom of our hearts  .

I couldn’t recommend Albin’s highly enough. We felt very supported from our first visit to the funeral parlour. Jo went through everything with us and gave us time to make decisions, nothing felt rushed or pressured. We were able to ask any questions and nothing seemed too much trouble. Every detail was gone through and checked prior to the day of the funeral, and I really felt that mum was cared for at every point. On the day of the funeral the whole team were highly respectful. We all felt supported and cared for on a very difficult day. Everything was timed to perfection. We wanted to drive past the care home mum had resided in, they allowed plenty of time to stop for the staff to show their respect. A flower and order of service was left at the house and care home. During the whole journey the team were calm and respectful. I truly felt mum was cared for. Every step was explained to us. They double checked details i.e did anyone want to carry the coffin, in case someone had changed their mind. The celebrant selected by Albins prepared the service following a face to face meeting. The service was pitched perfectly, she selected a poem about dementia to end the service which was very impactful.  We did not feel rushed after the service and right up to the point where we were dropped off we felt that the highest level of respect and care was shown. 
I have no negatives at all only the highest praise for this company. Their traditional approach is second to none and I am glad that we chose them to give my mum the send off that she deserved.

Thankyou Albins for helping us to say goodbye to my dad. Very professional and caring. A big thankyou also to the drivers, we even managed to have a giggle with them which helped. Would definitely recommend this family run business. Thankyou x

While this has been heartbreaking for me. F A Albins arranged a beautiful service. My wife was treated with dignity and respect throughout and my every need was treated with respect and compassion throughout. I cannot thank F A Albins enough for the service provided during this particularly difficult time.

“We cannot adequately express how exceptional Jo and the team at Albins were. They cared for our Mam with the highest level of dignity, compassion, and respect, guiding us through every step and helping us give her a truly beautiful send-off. Jo’s meticulous attention to detail is unmatched. They are, without question, elite.”

At the saddest possible time, Albins are not just like family but are also excellent guides to help arrange everything necessary. 
Their long history is important to them which is clear as they support you on the day. 
We were privileged and will never use another funeral director. 

5 Maria Law 5th Oct 2025

From the moment we had to contact Albins in the early hours one Sunday morning, to the day of the funeral, we have felt genuinely supported, cared for and guided through this difficult process.
All members of the Crayford team from Jo who made all the arrangements, through to the team on the day, particularly Will, who at all times was respectful and kind especially to my mum. We felt that our wishes were observed completely with no detail overlooked.
We couldn't have wished for a better send off for my dad.
Jo's calm approach made the whole situation so much easier to bare. Would highly recommend Albins to anyone who has lost a loved one.

5 Jenny Coxall 4th Oct 2025

From the moment we spoke to Crayford's branch manager, Jo, we felt we were in safe hands. Friendly and professional, with heaps of empathy, Jo guided us through the process. A gentle nudge every now and again if she needed anything from us. The lads on the day were awesome and their part could not have gone any better. Deeply respectful and thoughtful, they clearly loved their job and took great pride in their craft, but not in a robotic fashion - very human with personality and appropriate conversation. The attention to detail did not go unnoticed inc a book of condolence prepared at the wake. We are so grateful for their most excellent service.

5 Tracey Cole 23rd Sep 2025

Full credit to the amazing service recieved from Jo, Steve and the boys from beginning to end. Such a professional service and highly recommend. Just the little touches made all the difference. It was a hard day but made easier with all their help. Thank you.

5 Nikki Ead 14th Sep 2025

Quality throughout the planning and on-the-day arrangements, Albin's couldn't have done anything better. All the staff really did make the day easy and memorable. Thank you.

5 Linda Wright 28th Jun 2025

I highly recommend this company to anyone, they executed my dad's funeral without any fault, top class service from start to finish.
Communication with Jo who looks after the Crayford branch was excellent. Thank you so much .

5 Isabel Smidmore 7th Jun 2025

Impeccable service from start to finish. All the staff we came across went above and beyond there duties. So much compassion shown from Jo in the Crayford branch and never made to feel a nuisance. Steve, James and the other guys on the day could not have asked for better. Would highly recommend to use.

5 Andrea Melvin 31st May 2025

Patience, compassion and understanding runs through the team at Albins. From my first meeting with Jo I knew I was in good hands. She guided me through the process, step by step, and her choice of celebrant was perfect for the service I wanted. The professionalism of team on the day ensured everything ran smoothly. I can’t praise Albins enough and highly recommend them.

5 Theresa Wootten 4th May 2025

Albins were caring compassionate and professional. A special thank you to Joanne Branch who ensured everything for my brother’s funeral was organised with dignity and grace. The extra touches on the day like the memory box were very much appreciated. Thank you. 

5 Julie Powell 29th Mar 2025

Albin’s were wonderful at a very sad time. Professional, kind and helpful. They allowed us to give mum a proper send off. Thank you.

5 Laura Himbury 28th Feb 2025

Jo, Steve and the boys did an absolute sterling job whilst dealing with our mums funeral. From taking care of her with the upmost respect, to caring for my sister and myself including other family members that went to visit. They are so professional whilst at the same time having a caring soft  approach to every decision we made. We cannot thank them enough. They truly are the best. My sister and I couldn’t be more grateful. 

5 Bob Shipp 17th Feb 2025

I sadly lost my wife in January, dealing with this was always going to be difficult, but with Albin’s help, we were able to give her the beautiful send off she deserved.
Their kind and patient help, their attention to detail and the wonderful direction on the day could not be bettered.

Special thanks to Jo for her wonderful guidance and advice and to Chris and the boys for their support on the day itself.

5 Sarah Brooks 22nd Jan 2025

From my very first phone call my family and I were treated with great care and respect. We were supported throughout the whole process of organising the funeral and on the day we could not have asked for any better service. Albin's ensured that a difficult day was the best it could possibly be.
