Everyone @ Albins from the first call after mums passing to dropping us at the wake was exemplary-: They treated mum & us all with utmost respect - every detail was fulfilled beyond our requests - they truly made mums funeral arrangements so much easier than I could ever have imagined - if a funeral from start to finish can be described as beautiful then this is what Albins achieved - we are eternally grateful 

Jennifer Thomas 28th Nov 2021

We were met with very tragic circumstances surrounding the death our dad, and loving husband to our Mum, during this time of inconceivable grief and suffering somehow Albin’s with their compassionate approach and care for my mum, the family and my late dad made things a lot easier on the family. Denise Creed in particular based at the Mottingham branch was just the tonic we needed. Despite our sadness she made this a very happy journey for us all. Denise and the team made everything possible even allowed us to be able to hold our dads hand with dignity despite the length of time because of the circumstance, when I am sure most Funeral Directors would have said no, Albin’s said yes, we will make it possible, they were constantly guided by want the family wanted and needed. The way they treated all the family and my dad with so much respect and dignity really moved us to tears. There was very little for us to do, Albin’s took care of everything you can just tell they respond to everyone individually. The service and my Dad’s day was made fit for a King our King Arthur, To Albin’s and the Team we would never forget your kindness and compassion see you at the memorial Gardens on the 1st, as this is not the end this is only the beginning, Love Annette, Jennifer, Karen, Lisa, Claire, Danielle, Ajay, Amelia, Giovanni and Colin a huge thank you and an even bigger thank you from Arthur.

When my husband passed away in 2008, I was recommended to go to F.A. Albins.  In the past 13 years, have also recommended Albins, to friends,as I think they are the best undertakers in South East London.  Recently, my cousin passed away, so naturally went to Albins,  Mottingham branch.  Neil, the manager, and Denise.  I was shown, compassion, and were both very helpful.  On an extremely sad day, it was lovely to know, I was giving a loved one a good send off.  A beautiful touch was the lilac rose, left under my door knocker, which smelt beautiful, just like the people working for F.A. Albins.

    I really cannot say enough to express how wonderful Denise and all the staff at Albins have been . My dad was treated with the utmost care and respect whilst in the capable hands of the Albin team. Nothing was too much trouble and everything  was organised by them down to the last detail. My dads send off went so smoothly and they really thought of everything , even down to providing water and tissues in the cars and at the crematorium. The service they provide is second to none and very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend Albins to anyone , thank you so much for making my dads send off so beautiful . X
