F.A. Albin Crayford

5 Merrilyn Fitch 17th Oct 2026

I’m writing this on behalf of Pam and I know she would like to thank everyone very much at Albin & Sons (Crayford) for their compassionate care and professional guidance following the loss of her dear husband Alan. Jo’s kindness and support from the offset made arranging the funeral more bearable during a sad time. Pam would also like to thank Scott (the Celebrant) and those taking part in the cortege for their understanding and sensitivity in caring for her and her family and friends on the day of Alan’s funeral.
I take part in agreeing with Pam that Albins are very caring and would have no hesitation in recommending their services.

The most professional, compassionate and caring service during a very difficult time.  Jo was just amazing, and a special thanks to Steve and his boys whose love and care on the day was second to none and made saying goodbye a little less painful.  Thank you x

F.A.Albin are a family run business, they are compassionate and empathetic at a very sad time of life, when a loved one passes its very overwhelming feeling and difficulty to know where to begin.
Jo has been a great help she has a lovely personality and shows empathy at every step, she has guided me through the loss of our beloved Mum and has made the whole journey a lot easier to deal with.
Thank you Jo and all of your colleagues at F.A.Albin

Amazing, heartfelt service from start to finish. Everyone at Albin Funeral Directors made such a difficult day that little bit easier with their kindness, compassion, and professionalism. They were by our side every step of the way, offering support and guidance when we needed it most. We are truly grateful for everything they did and would highly recommend them to anyone needing caring and respectful funeral services.

Albins, Crayford were fantastic. Jo, Alfie, Paul and all the lovely young men were so kind, helpful and respectful.  We couldn’t be more pleased with how well we were looked after from collecting Jeff from our house to the day of the funeral.  A truly remarkable service from Albins.

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.

5 Kelly Simpson 23rd Jan 2026

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

5 Bernie Webb 23rd Jan 2026

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. 

5 Mark Jenkins 8th Dec 2025

As always  very professional and dignified service. Thank you all so much to the team especially Steve.

Thank you for taking care of our mum.x

5 Simone Cosgrave Butler 4th Dec 2025

“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.”

5 Sueanne Ervin 18th Nov 2025

Amazing and very friendly thankyou all so much

5 Alan Glover 10th Oct 2025

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.
