What Families Say

AI Summary

Families consistently praise the care and professionalism shown throughout the entire process, from the initial phone call through to the funeral day itself. Many mention specific staff members by name—particularly those in the Mottingham office—for their compassion, patience, and willingness to go beyond what was asked, with several describing how this personal attention made an overwhelming time more bearable.

On the day of the funeral, families return again and again to the conduct of the service and the respect shown by the team. They note the attention to small touches—roses left at doorsteps, tissues and water in the cars, staff standing in respectful silence as the hearse passed—and describe how these details, combined with the professionalism of the conductors and pallbearers, created a dignified send-off that mourners commented on long afterwards.

Communication throughout the process emerges as something families value deeply. Many describe feeling kept informed at every stage, never rushed, and assured that their loved one was being cared for with the same respect and attention whether at the chapel of rest or during the arrangements themselves.

    Albans were extremely helpful with the planning and also on the day of the funeral

  • 5 Jonathan Currey 26th Aug 2017

    F.A. Albin & Sons exceeded all expectation in the handling of my mother's funeral. Before and on the day, everything was attended to with thoughtful care and utmost dignity. The celebrant they introduced us to was wonderful, and worked with us in an un-rushed way to produce a very moving eulogy. Overall, they made a huge difference to our experience during this trying time. Thank you again Neil, Steven and everyone else involved.

    From the first time me, my mum & sister called Albins at 3am on 11/07/17 their service was impeccable & so respectful. They came when we asked them to collect dad, they drove out of sight down the road very slow in respect and bowed to dad after putting him in vehicle. We then had the pleasure of meeting Neil at the Mottingham branch who was wonderful and again very respectable and treated us as friends not clients and helped us choose the perfect funeral for Dad. Then Jo took over whilst Neil was away & Dad came back to the Chapel of Rest, she made us feel so welcome even when I wanted to visit everyday! We felt safe knowing she was looking after Dad. Then comes to the day before the funeral Dad wanted to come home and that he did with Albins providing a fully manned hearse in uniform bringing him home in style & supplying candles a a cross which made the ambiance feel very comfortable. On the dreaded day Simon & his men again were very respectable and made us feel at ease and treated us like friends and looked after Dad in his journey to his final resting place. Absolutely fantastic service from Albins, Dad would have been very pleased - thank you from The Pritchard's xxx
