Every part of what is a traumatic and upsetting process was dealt with such sensitivity. From the moment my wife was collected from Guys to talking about the arrangements with Elaine - who made myself and daughter feel relaxed and comforted that Kate was being so well looked after - to the day itself. The guys on the day were all fantastic. I didn't need to be concerned about anything but being in the moment of the service. They looked after me, my family and the huge number of people who turned up with quiet professionalism. Thank you so much.

We as a family, cannot speak highly enough of Albins. From the first call to Elaine at Deptford who was super helpful and friendly. To our family meeting with Elaine, she was incredible. Elaine made a very difficult time somewhat easier! She is been a huge part in my dads send off ! Even when visiting my dad in the chapel of rest, the warmth and welcome was always above and beyond what she had to do. On the actual day, Steve and his boys Jamie and co were professional and conducted themselves and the service with class and the special touches of respect they showed to my Dad and our family never went unnoticed!! Thank you all for everything

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you arrange a funeral?
You can arrange a funeral by choosing a funeral director who will help you organise all of the details. They can help you decide whether to have a cremation or burial and what type of service to choose, as well as additional options, such as music and flowers. You can find out what happens at a funeral and compare funeral directors on Funeral Guide.
Read moreWhat are disbursements?
Disbursements are additional costs for a funeral service that are paid to third-parties, such as florists, celebrants and burial fees. The funeral director will usually charge you for them and then pay the suppliers themselves.
Read moreHow can I get help with funeral costs?
If the cost of a funeral is not covered by a prepaid funeral plan, or the estate of the person who has died, you may be able to get financial help from the government’s Bereavement Support Payment or from War Disablement Pensions, charitable funds or budgeting loans.
