From the moment I telephoned FA Albins, I knew we were in good hands and my Mum would be looked after with care. When we met Joanne she reassured my Dad, Sister and myself straightaway and said they would take good care of my Mum. This immediately put us at ease at a time when we were experiencing so much sadness. Joanne guided us through the maze of what needed to be done. From the first phone call, to the day of my lovely Mum’s funeral, only kindness and compassion was shown. On the day, Steve and the other Albins boys were so professional and guided us through the service. No other funeral directors has a patch on Albins. We felt completely looked after and in very competent hands. Our family and friends all commented on how wonderful the service went. My Dad, Sister and myself cannot thank Joanne, Father Michael, Steve and the rest of Albins enough for the brilliant service they provided to us and to my Mum. In the words of how we finished my Mum’s funeral service, it was Simply the Best! Thank you!

I cannot express sufficiently in words the truly exceptional, and utterly professional service my family and I received from all the team at  F. A. Albins (Crayford). Joanne, Steve and the whole team made what was a truly
emotional experience, from start to finish, all  the more bearable and allowed us the chance as a family
to fully celebrate the life of my late father in true style. My eternal thanks to all.

The past few months have been awful has my sister and I watched our mum fight against cancer. When our mum passed away we were both lost finding ourselves having to deal with funeral directors, informing people mum had passed and at the same time coming to terms with what had just happened. My sister and I both chose F.A.Albin has we wanted our mum to leave from my sister's house on the day of the funeral and F.A.Albin had a premises in Crayford. On the day our mum passed they collected mum from the residential home and took her away. When I called Crayford, Dawn answered the phone I said 'good morning you are looking after my mum' and her response was hello Sarah how are you. My sister and I knew from that moment that mum was safe. That someone was caring for her. She asked me how I was and really cared about my response. We arranged to visit a few days later to discuss the funeral. Nothing was too much trouble. We was made to feel so welcome and at home. Dawn was really interested to hear about our mum and gave us ideas for the funeral and by the end of the meeting we had arranged the funeral with a date and time. We later arranged to come and visit mum at the Chapel of Rest in the Crayford store where Jo took over looking after us. She prepared us for what to expect and made us feel so relaxed. One thing that stuck in my mind was that she said that of a night once they had tucked her in they would leave the lamp on so that she was not in the dark. We both thought that was such a lovely thought. The day of the funeral well I cannot fault it. Our mum had the best send off. It was beautiful. It was well organised, staff were outstanding especially Steve, Dawn and Jo. Our mum would have loved it. Thank you.

5 Darrell Williamson 9th Dec 2022

So helpful Joann in the office so helpful from booking funeral to seeing us family and organising the funeral. On the day Steve and drivers were composed, professional, and fantastic informing us what was happening no rushing around everything was taken in their own stride. They did an excellent service for us and our dear dad god bless. Thank you so much. The Williamson family.

5 Danielle De Baeza 15th Nov 2022

Just wanted to say thank you to Jo Branch and father Michael for giving my mother in law an absolutely beautiful service. Everything was taken care of and they made it the send off she deserved. From recommending flowers to calling us to make sure everything was done on time. Can’t thank them enough. Wouldn’t even think of using another funeral directors from now on. Eternally grateful x

5 Lesley Cunningham 13th Nov 2022

This is the second funeral F A Albins have done for me in the last few months, they go above and beyond. They make a trying time easier and for that I cannot thank them enough. The respect and consideration goes a long way. From Jo in the office showing compassion and making me realise I needed to grieve as well as focus on getting the funeral right, to the guys showing all the respect to the deceased and the living. All the small touches along way.

5 Ray Waldock 12th Nov 2022

From start to finish every one as been brilliant,I must pay tribute to Joanne at Crayford she was brilliant and she makes a nice cup of tea on behalf of my family we would like to thank everyone at Albins.

5 Stephen Crane 2nd Nov 2022

The whole process from start to finish, Jo and the team at Albin & Sons looked after us as a family.  They understood our needs and were very professional, but at the same time made us feel at ease.   We knew that Dad was being looked after and in good hands.  On the day of the funeral we couldn’t have asked for anything  more, nothing was any trouble. They took time with us and we felt that a very difficult day was made easier with their help. Members of our family informed us that it was probably the best funeral they’d ever been to. Many thanks to Danny and the team for their sympathy and dignity. I cannot thank them enough.  We’re now learning to live without Dad, however we will never forget your support.
We would not hesitate to use Albin’s in the future.

5 Rachel Runeckles 24th Oct 2022

5 Deanna Farrer 18th Oct 2022

From the moment that I first spoke to Joanne at Albins I knew that I was in safe hands. Her compassion and professionalism was truly inspiring at a time when I often felt out of my depth. I truly believe that Joanne and the Albins team are the best in the area. Thank you all so much.
Used Albins  (Welling branch) 11 years ago for my Mum, again this month for my Dad (Crayford branch), highly recommend and would be my go to if needed again. x

Albins & Sons are amazing! 
They had my family and I at ease from the very moment we spoke to the amazing Joanne. Their customer service was brilliant, I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a funeral directors.

5 Debra Keable 7th Aug 2022

What can I say about Albins. The service is superb. A year ago they helped us with the passing of mum now a year later they have helped us with the passing of my father in law. My family have always used Albins as the service recieved is always personal and they are ready to answer your questions. Would recommend to anyone as the time and quality of the staff are excellent and the support is there when you need it most.

5 Amber Bennett 6th Aug 2022

Albin and sons were amazing. Jo Branch is a credit to your company. From start to finish. We received the best service and advise.  And our Nan received the best possible care. Thank you for making it so easy especially at such a hard time.

Everyone at Albin's has been fantastic at such a difficult time.
Beautiful premises, welcoming and comfortable.
Joanne was supportive throughout. Friendly, sympathetic, efficient!
The team on the day of the funeral were very kind, approachable, professional.
Elaine and her catering team were brilliant, an excellent service at a reasonable price...and at relatively short notice!
We always knew we would use Albin's and we weren't disappointed. Would highly recommend.
One tiny bit of feedback, we had already set up a tribute page by the time we heard about the Albin's tribute page. If we had known about this earlier we would have made more use of the Albin's page. BUT that's the only slight negative!
Thank you so much for all of your support.
