A big thank you to everyone at F A Albin, but especially Jo who made a difficult and stressful time for us bearable. To us she went above and beyond anything we had expected, making arrangements, giving advice and phoning with updates so we didn’t have any worries. When Mum arrived to us from Bermondsey with the cars everything was just perfect for her final farewell. Everything had been thought of, from a carpet for us to step on to enter the cars to water and tissues in the cars. Nothing was rushed, everyone was helpful and informed us as we went along as to what was happening. The service and the burial itself was lovely, due to Jo finding Father Owen and the Book of Remembrance and keepsake box was such a lovely touch and much appreciated. We chose F.A Albin because of the care and respect they showed mum when they collected her from home when she passed to take her to the coroners office. We are so glad we did and we really can not thank you enough for everything.
