  • 5 Barbara Mustafa 10th Feb 2024

    From the moment we walked into the office we felt cared for. Christine and Dawn were amazing. They thought of everything and nothing was too much trouble for them. They kept us up to date with arrangements as we went along. 
    On the day of the funeral Steve and his team were excellent. They were respectful and professional throughout. The little touch of leaving a red rose on the door as the cortège left the house was so thoughtful. 
    The celebrant who was arranged by Dawn was so kind and caring. The service was beautiful and a very fitting tribute to our Mum. 
    All the staff at Albins made a difficult day so much easier to bear for us all. Thank you so much. 

  • 5 Michelle Ward 8th Feb 2024

    FA Albins are simply the best Funeral directors. Our family has used them for generations and we would not go anywhere else. They are professional in everything they do from assisting and guiding with the funeral arrangements to the conducting the final journey of our loved ones. I cannot speak highly enough of the whole team.

  • 5 Patrick Whelan 31st Jan 2024

  • 5 Bolatito Ariyo 13th Dec 2023

    Excellent service from start to finish. We were looked after by staff who were very professional and also had a lot of empathy. The whole experience was excellent and friends and family liked what they saw.

  • 5 Trudy Holt 2nd Nov 2023

    Dawn and Christine, at Albins Welling, are wonderful! They guided us through the funeral process and helped us understand what to expect. Everything was so straight forward and they made it so it was completely stress-free.The way they treated our loved one was as if was their family too. We couldn't have asked for a better send off for our favourite man, and that is all thanks to Dawn! The Albins boys who drove the funeral cars and led the horse and carriage were so supportive and accommodating, overall a wonderful team! Thank you for making this difficult time, that little bit easier.

  • 5 Teresa Miller 2nd Nov 2023

    Absolutely fantastic from start to finish! Amazing service. 

  • 5 Christine Haylock 30th Oct 2023

    Dawn and Christine at Welling branch were excellent, so caring and knowledgeable and we knew we were in great hands with them looking after us. The team led by Steve on the day were professional and caring every step of the way. The Albins team are a credit to your company.

  • 5 Kim Tuley 15th Oct 2023

    I cannot recommend F.A. Albin highly enough.  Christine and Dawn looked after us from the outset with care and kindness, nothing was too much trouble.  The team in Rotherhithe took care of my loved one and he looked amazing when we saw him to pay our respects, he looked better than he had in hospital.  On the day itself the team were just incredible, everything was so well organised and we didn’t have to worry about a thing and they were incredibly respectful and kind.  I can’t thank F.A. Albin enough.

  • 5 Jean Davis 3rd Oct 2023

    Superb compassion, respect, kindness and help from the first phone call I made and throughout the planning of my dear Dad's funeral. All staff were extremely professional. Christine and Dawn were always available to help and guide us, making regular phone calls to us, to help and inform us throughout. The team on the day of Dad's funeral were courteous, professional and kind. Albins gave Dad a well deserved VIP funeral. Can't recommend Albins enough. A big thank you for making the hardest day ever go, extremely smoothly. A big thank you from us all.

  • 5 Angela Felstead 3rd Oct 2023

    FA Albin made the process of arranging my late mother’s funeral very easy. Nothing was too much trouble. Christine has been so helpful answering my many questions and the gentlemen on the day were extremely professional. In such a trying circumstance they made it as easy and stress free as it could be. Thanks to you all.

    We can't thank you enough for looking after us and making sure our lovely dad had the send off he deserved. Nothing was too much trouble and the attention to detail was exceptional. Your amazing boys were so respectful and Dawn and Christine were kindness itself.
    You took the stress of organising everything away from us and we will be forever grateful to you.

  • 5 Pauline Ferris 26th Aug 2023

    Choosing the right Funeral Director to deliver your final farewell to a much loved family member is quite a responsibility. I'm sure many Funeral Directors could carry out the job admirably, but our very first impression of Albins in Welling was what prompted us to choose them.

    Christine and Dawn guided us gently through the process of organising Mary's funeral and were very respectful of our feelings at such an emotional time for us. They put forward some good suggestions which we were able to personalise to suit what we thought Mary would have liked, and which also satisfied our family.

    On the day of Mary's funeral, our Funeral Conductor, John and his team ensured everything ran incredibly smoothly, from the minute they arrived at the address Mary was departing from, right through to the Church Service, burial at a nearby Cemetery, and our return to the home address. One particularly lovely and thoughtful gesture from Albins, was to place a beautiful Cerise Pink Rose (Mary's favourite colour) on the front door of the property, just before the Hearse and Cars left for the Church.

    We can honestly say we were exceptionally pleased to have entrusted Albins with such an important day for us. Their professionalism, care and sense of pride in what they deliver was very evident, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services to others looking to provide a very dignified and personal farewell to a loved one. Our sincere thanks to the entire Albins Team.

  • 5 Simon Railton 1st Aug 2023

    I have found every person that I have spoken to or dealt with to be compassionate, understanding and most of all very professional. They listened to our wishes and went above and beyond to make the day an extra special send off for Darren. I could not fault any aspect of the service they gave us and would highly recommend them to everyone.

  • 5 Derek Hulyer 24th Jul 2023

    I can’t express how thankful I am to Albins and the team especially Christine and Dawn at Welling who handled my wife’s funeral with such care and compassion and were very supportive through this very painful and challenging time for my children and me. Thank you so much. 

  • 5 Ian Gibson 14th Jul 2023
