There isn’t enough words to say thank you to Christine, Dawn and Steven Bailey for all the help on giving the service to my Dad, your care for my Dad was second to none, and I will be always thankful for all you have done.  Thank you to Christine And Dawn especially for looking after me when I was tearful and sitting with me. I know Barry would be very proud of you all.  The job you do is amazing, so much so if there was anyway of giving something back I would. There way you looked after me, and my brother the day he died and looking a mess, I will always be thankful. I will be forever thankful I met you all.  Love  Natalie

  • 5 Kathy Tilley 7th Oct 2017

    Excellent and professional service. Special mention to Christine who looked after us. She was professional and went the extra the mile. Would highly recommend them.

  • 5 Jane Pickard 29th Sep 2017

    I can't stress enough how helpful this company is to guide you what is one of the worst times of your life. The kindness, compassion and caring shown was amazing. Christine at the Welling branch led us through this difficult process with true kindness. 
    On the day of the funeral, the respect shown to my poor dad was wonderful: at no time did it appear false. Steve, who led his team on the day was amazing. The care he showed towards my dead dad, to me and all my close relatives was exemplary. I can't recommend this company enough. You feel safe in their hands.

  • 5 Peter Sheehan 18th Sep 2017

    Excellent service, from the first telephone call through to the day of the funeral everything was handled professionally. Couldn't find fault in anything, would highly recommend.

  • 5 Janis Greenslade 26th Aug 2017

    I can not praise F A Albin more highly. At a time when the family felt completely devastated and lost at the loss of mum they treated our family like their family - what more could you ask? They were deeply respectful and compassionate and guided us through everything step by step. I felt mum would be in the best of hands and she was. Everything ran like clockwork. A particular mention must go to Jo Branch, who is normally based at the Bermondsey branch. Jo was the ultimate professional of course, but she was so much more. Her empathy and warmth made this painful and difficult time so much easier to bear. On the day, Lee and his team looked after us beautifully and helped us to give mum the send off she so deserved. Thank you F A Albin.

  • 5 Ian Whitehead 7th Aug 2017

    We were looked after by Christine at the Welling branch of F.A. Albin and I can honestly say that the level of compassion, support and care provided by Christine and her colleagues was second to none. They made such a difference to us and were simply superb in looking after everything and provided great comfort during a difficult time. The level of professionalism was exceptional, with regular updates provided in a very sympathetic manner before mum's funeral, and tender/empathetic support provided on the day of mum's funeral.

    Death is not something we like to think about, but I would not use any other Funeral Directors now that I have experienced the care and service provided by F.A. Albin.

    Thank you Christine and all at F.A. Albin for the love and care you showed to my mum and our family. May God Bless you all.

    Ian Whitehead.

  • 5 Jean Parr 16th Apr 2017
