Danny and the team where absolutely fantastic. The care and attention to detail was first class. The discussion with Danny to make the arrangements where thorough but also included aspects I had not considered which made a big difference on the day. The major personal touch was the ability to visit a significant location on route toe the crematorium and we were able to visit my wife's family home. This made a huge impression on the whole family and was a great touch. The cars where impeccable and again the attention to detail was first rate e.g. the team had a carpet in-front of the car doors to allow passengers to step on before getting in. It may be common, but having the lead usher walk in front of the car at key moments was greatly appreciated. Everything went like clockwork and on a stressful day, it really made a huge difference. I know that Albin International is a separate group, but I have to mention what a service they provided. Stephen was on top of all arrangement to repatriate my wife and there was absolutely no problems. He kept me updated throughout the process and also helped with the paper work to transport my wife's ashes to the Bahamas. Another first class service. The end to end process was seamless and made a huge difference to me and the family and friends. Thank you so much!

We used albin & hitchcock for my dad's funeral and my mum's. I can not fault them. They we're very helpful and respectful before and on the day. Very professional and would highly recommend them to anyone
