About Us
Built in 1974 on the site of the Old Runge Hall in Culling Road, the F.A. Albin & Sons head office was built to serve the community and has every facility to assist families at the time of bereavement.
The premises are located in close proximity to the public transport system and have allocated spaces for customer parking. Facilities include eight chapels of rest, a large garage to accommodate our modern fleet, a comprehensive mortuary, a museum as well as administration offices.
Also located at Culling Road is F.A. Albin & Sons' memorial garden, which consists of a large number of niches for families to inter the ashes of their loved ones, boulder plaques, wall and vase plaques where flowers can be placed. All remembrance opportunities are open to everyone so you will not be required to retain ashes in order to dedicate a memorial.
Funeral directors Jonathan and Simon Dyer are responsible for the branch and are available Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm, on Saturdays from 9 am to 2 pm and on Sundays from 10 am to 12 pm. The company operates a 24 hour on call response outside normal working hours.
Our office serves all of the M25 area.
The Albin family first worked as wardens of the Bermondsey cemetery over 200 years ago, to then start serving the community as funeral directors.
What Families Say
AI SummaryMany families emphasise the care and attentiveness shown during arrangements and on the funeral day itself, describing how staff guided them through decisions with patience and sensitivity when they felt overwhelmed. Several note that nothing felt rushed or transactional, and that the team treated their loved one's funeral as genuinely important rather than simply a service to deliver.
Families across the reviews highlight communication and availability as crucial, mentioning that staff remained accessible to answer questions, offer reassurance, and make adjustments without hesitation or resistance. Many describe feeling kept informed throughout the process and welcomed when visiting the premises.
Cost emerges as a concern families raised at the outset, yet several mention being pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the pricing was, particularly when comparing it against their expectations for the level of service and attention to detail they received.

Albin &Sons have been looking after our family funerals for years. Having moved from the area 12 years ago I phoned and asked if they would look after my wonderful husband. Nothing is too much trouble for them and you definitely get the best when they care for your loved one and the family. I feel so grateful to them because I feel my wonderful husband got the very best send off , from his departure from Bermondsey to the service Pauline led in Faversham. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Lilian Ash & Family
