From the very moment they came to pick up my mum on the morning she passed, Albins handled everything with grace and dignity. Throughout the entire process, they showed such genuine compassion and care that I cannot praise them highly enough. They supported me through every stage, helping to create the beautiful send-off I had always envisaged for my lovely mum. Everything was carried out perfectly, and it will remain a day I will always remember with gratitude.

    I cannot recommend Albins enough. From the first meeting with Mickey to arrange the funeral, who made a very hard time as easy as possible with kindness and support right up to the funeral day where the drivers and pallbearers were so professional and respectful. Thank you.

  • 5 Sarah Marshall 13th Jan 2026

    It was one of the hardest days of our life my mum’s final journey.  Albins you were there for us every step of the way with such professionalism and support. We honestly couldn’t have done it without you.  You should be so proud of how your wonderful staff portray themselves they are all wonderful and you support families going through the hardest time of their lives with every possible help they need.  Keep up the amazing work I will always be so grateful for choosing you all.

  • 5 Linda Metson 2nd Jan 2026

     My husband was a Bermondsey boy and when he passed away my first thought was Albins for the funeral, they were kind, caring and so very helpful, their attention to detail is exceptional. They took a big weight off my shoulders. On the day of the funeral I knew I was in safe hands and they were so respectful.

  • 5 Krystyna English 2nd Jan 2026

    It has always been tradition to use F.A.Albin in our family and they never fail to please us. All the staff are professional you just feel your loved one is being cared for in their safe hands.
    A big thank you to George who was so helpful losing a loved one is traumatic but George with his calm and caring manner helped me and the family through this difficult time.
    My partner had a beautiful send off thanks to F.A.Albins

    Dear Mickey, John, and everyone at Albion Funeral Directors,

    We just want to say how truly grateful we are for everything you did for us. This has been such a difficult time, and your kindness, patience, and compassion made all the difference. You didn’t just guide us through the practicalities — you showed genuine care and went above and beyond to support us when we needed it most.

    From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being there. We will never forget the comfort you gave us.

    With appreciation, Tracey, Kieran & Aiden xxxx

    We can’t thank Albin Funeral Directors enough for their kindness and professionalism. From the moment we walked through their doors, they treated us and our precious Nancy with such care, compassion, and respect. This was one of the hardest times of our lives, yet they guided us through every step with warmth and understanding. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a team who truly cares.
    Thank you John, Jane & everyone at Albins.

  • 5 Sally Dalgleish 18th Aug 2025

    We could not have asked for more from Albin’s, from the minute we placed the call until the time we picked up the ashes. All the staff at the Sidcup office were wonderful , kind , empathetic, knowledgeable, nothing was too much trouble and they all made the whole experience more bearable at this very sad time . I would have no hesitation in recommending them. 
    Thank you 

  • 5 Sharon McGrath 15th Aug 2025

    Albins provided a first class service throughout. From the first point of contact they were thoroughly supportive and attentive with the perfect balance of what was needed by us. The initial meeting was sensitively handled, clear, provided comprehensive information for us to make our own decisions and our choices were carried out completely as planned.  The funeral day went without a hitch and we were guided every step of the way. Albins are a professional company and we would definitely recommend them to anyone.

  • 5 Leila Norman 12th Aug 2025

    We had the most professional service from all the staff at F.A.Albin. No request was too much and they made sure we were happy and comfortable to make decisions when planning Dad's funeral.
    On the day everything was seamless and they gently guided us through what we needed to do with compassion, never rushed.
    We would recommend Albins as a 1st choice in excellent funeral care.

  • 5 Stephen Course 2nd Aug 2025

    Albins could not have been more helpful and understanding throughout the process, and were absolutely fantastic on the day too, giving my dad the most respectful send off I could have imagined.

    Thank you!

  • 5 Joanne Robinson 15th Jan 2025

    F A Albins and sons made what was a really upsetting time for us as a family more manageable. The professionalism, care and support they gave us was greatly appreciated, every member of staff we met or spoke to went above and beyond for our dear dad/husband while he was resting in their care and for us as a family as we were grieving. The service to celebrate dad’s life was so well organised and on the day every member of Albins staff were so thoughtful, professional and caring towards us. You made a really difficult time much easier to handle. So to all of you, your professionalism and compassion is extraordinary, thank you.

    Warm, friendly, professional and very helpful people who helped my family through an extremely tough time. The funeral service went really well and was simple to arrange with the team at Albin’s  expert help. Mickey Thorpe, our funeral director, is a wonderful man, able to make us all smile and laugh through the darkest of times. We couldn’t recommend them more.

  • 5 Karen Austin 16th Sep 2024

    F.A.Albin’s of Sidcup were truly amazing from the very first phone call to the very end of the funeral and are still there if I need them after .
    They were so well presented and their service was so professional and immaculate.
    Nothing was too much much trouble and the various little added touches made our family feel valued and they showed my mum so much dignity.
    They are the Rolls Royce in the funeral Industry.
    You will be putting your loved one in the most loving and caring hands possible.

Would highly recommend using such a professional and supportive family business as FA Albin Sidcup.
