After a false start with a national chain, we were lucky to find Albins through a Google search. As we live over 300 miles away we didn’t know the local Funeral Directors so we’re somewhat worried.  From the first call with Neil we knew we had found the right one. The distance was no barrier to him and he was happy to help us plan things from afar.  He was helpful, professional and prompt at responding on email or telephone. All his recommendations for associated services were excellent e.g. Flowers by Kate SE9 and the Celebrant Teresa Redmond.  On the day of the funeral Albins were so professional and respectful and contributed hugely to the perfect send off for our loved one.

I would definitely recommend F A Albin Mottingham as funeral directors. We found Neil, the funeral arranger, to be very caring & understanding as he helped us organise my husband's funeral after his sudden & unexpected death. Neil guided us through the process with great patience & understanding. On the day Neil and his team conducted my husband's last journey from home with the utmost respect, dignity and kindness. Thank you Neil and everyone at F A Albin, Mottingham

  • 5 Natalie Erb 12th Jan 2026

    Albins have done all of our family funerals and they always go above and beyond. The whole experience felt very personal and compassionate. Always on the end of the phone to answer any queries and go out of their way to make your requests a reality. So grateful to them. 

  • 5 Tom Hitchins 27th Dec 2025

    Once again, absolutely outstanding service at my mums funeral, Albins are compassionate and professional from beginning to end. Very special thanks to Neil & Denise, both very understanding and able to meet all our requests with ease. Steven B also gets a very special thanks and is an absolute credit to Albins, the pallbearers who were set with no easy task carrying my mum to her place of rest in a very muddy cemetery.
    Many thanks at this sad time. 

  • 5 Michelle Marlborough 9th Dec 2025

    Especially to Denise who made this very sad time so much easier with her lovely personality ❤️
    And on the day 5th December a big Thankyou to the boys who not only made sure everything went to plan .
    But for the beautiful rose on my front door & passing Tony's family home and stopped so respectfully and also left a white rose in his memory.
    These touches I will cherish always.
    I would highly recommend this family of funeral directors.
    Nothing was too much trouble .
    Words can't express how truly grateful I will always be xx ❤️🌹

    Albins are one of the kindest and most welcoming funeral services I have ever known. From the minute you meet at first point until the end of service.

    I personally would not use any other service and Neil and his team at Mottingham are such lovely people.

    Thank you for making my mums farewell the smoothest and most comforting day.

  • 5 Madeline Baker 12th Aug 2025

    It was never going to be any one else but Albin’s since 1956 when my Nan died 
     and the family tradition began. Several members of the family have had Albin’ since.
    My Husband’s funeral was made so perfect by the professionalism they gave us.
    We were treated with dignity and respect all the way and I will be forever grateful for them making his day a day to remember.
    Thank you so much

  • 5 Sue Lee 19th Jul 2025

    From the moment we walked into F A Albin & Sons in Mottingham, we knew they were the ones we wanted to handle my father-in-law’s funeral. The empathy and professionalism shown by Denise from our very first conversation made the entire process far more bearable during an incredibly emotional and stressful time.

    Denise guided us through everything with such care, and we’ll always be grateful for the support and warmth she offered. The conversations we had with Neil were also a real comfort — as with Denise, he took the time to listen, to understand, and to make sure everything felt just right.

    On the day itself, George the conductor and his team were simply outstanding. The vintage Rolls Royce hearse was a perfect tribute to our 92-year-old Dad/father-in-law, Ron. Watching George lead the hearse down the road Ron had lived on his entire life was incredibly moving and will stay with us forever.

    Every single member of the team was respectful, professional, and treated Ron as though he was as special to them as he was to us. we honestly can’t rate them highly enough. Their attention to detail, compassion, and calm presence meant the world to us.

    Thank you, F A Albins, for helping us give our Dad/Ron the farewell he so deserved.

  • 5 Tracey Hughes 20th Jun 2025

    Thank you ❤️

  • 5 Paul Kinsey 10th Jun 2025

    We can’t thank you enough for looking after Dad for us, and the way you looked after myself, my Mum and my brother on the day of the funeral.

  • 5 Lauren Hart 2nd Jun 2025

    Everyone that we spoke to or met were absolutely amazing. So helpful and considerate. The day itself ran very smoothly with me being kept informed of everything at every turn. It was the perfect send off for my Dad and I highly recommend Albins. 

  • 5 Lloyd Bromhead 7th Apr 2025

    Absolutely flawless from start to finish. Thank you.

  • 5 Valerie Mason 8th Mar 2025

    We recently used F A Albin's of Mottingham to arrange our beloved dads funeral, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the initial consultation with the amazing Denise, they displayed genuine empathy and professionalism. The team were incredibly attentive to our needs, ensuring every detail was handled with respect and dignity. They went above and beyond to personalize the service, making a difficult time feel manageable. Their commitment to providing a meaningful farewell was truly appreciated. Unfortunately our family has lost 3 beloved family members within the last 18 months and we have used Albin's for all of them. Once again we as a family cannot recommend them highly enough - Thank you Denise and Gentlemen

  • 5 John Ruler 24th Feb 2025
