FA Albin’s in Deptford handle my mother funeral back in 20221, during the height of Covid and were exemplary, ensuring her burial went smoothly under the circumstance's. In 2024, following the passing of my father, they exceeded all our expectations. Their attention details cannot be faulted. I like to thank all those connected to Albin’s for making it a special day for our father. Your kindness and support during this difficult time is greatly appreciated. 

Michael Wood 29th Jan 2024

Albins were recommended by a friend , it was my first time planning a funeral. My wife died in december 2023 and i was clueless to how to get it done . Then i met Elaine , she made me and my kids feel at ease and she took such good care and gave great advice regarding my wifes funeral arrangement from the start to the finish. She needs to be rewarded for her outstanding service . Then on the funeral day she sent Alfie , i would say not one of the best , but the BEST funeral coordinator , i would recommend them to do EVERY funeral arrangement in the UK . So both magic names dont ever forget them Elaine in the deptford branch and Alfie . From the bottom of my heart from me and my kids , we want to Thank you . And yes will be using them again and again .

    Mum had the very best celebration of her life, from the moment we met with Elaine until the end of her "Farewell" our requests were met. Elaine dealt with every enquiry and question we asked of her. She was professional, caring, warm and personable. Attention to dets was second to none. Albins are the very best. Cannot thank them enough.

    Firstly I would like to thank Elaine for amazing service,care and attention to detail in handling our booking. From start to finish she made sure we were happy and understood everything. Once my mother was in your care you looked after her and made us a family feel she was in the best hands. On the day of the funeral the service we received made us feel like royalty. George handled the family along with the other gents with the upmost respect and care. I would like to thank you all for making a very difficult and emotional time stress free.

    From the first point of contact to the last I can not find any fault with the service that the staff of F A Albins have provided.
    An amazing extremely professional company who give the most amazing service.  
    Elaine made us feel at ease every step of the way.  She assisted me and was very understanding of what myself and my family were going through.
    On the day of the funeral, George helped me so much.  Such a difficult and upsetting occasion but he and his team couldn’t have dealt with it any better.  
    They were all very accommodating to our needs and made everything possible.
    Thank you all so much
