Could not have asked for a better service. Total respect commitment attention to duty and detail but above all else care!

Rebekah Wright 25th Jun 2021

Albin & Sons are the epitome of funeral services! They are the best in the game. The professionalism, patience and understanding is next to none, from everyone you deal with at Albins. This great service begins from the receptionists down at the parlour, to the drivers on the day of the funeral and everyone else in between. The service was smooth, easy and our every request was met! We are a big family with lots of different opinions, wants/needs for the day but Simon listened to everything we wanted and made sure we had exactly what we asked for. He dealt with us with such empathy and care. Although it was a very hard day for my family and I, the team at Albins made it as beautiful as can be. Outstanding service from start to finish, so on behalf of myself and my family we would like to say a huge thank you for stunning service, we were completely satisfied.

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.

  • 5 Lesley Wellsted 7th Apr 2021

    Once again, Albins have done us proud, thank you.   From the moment I called informing them of my Mum's passing, to collecting her from the William Harvey Hospital, Ashford, taking Mum back to Bermondsey, taking care of her and allowing her to rest in their beautiful Chapels of Rest.  Such care and compassion  was shown throughout.   With special thanks to Simon for being so understanding and caring, Jamie for being so kind hearted and Terry, our driver.   Thank you also to all other members of staff who were involved in helping to make such a sad period of time in my life a much easier and  more understanding situation. 
    A truly professional, caring and compassionate funeral directors, who will never be beaten.    Thank you.   Lesley Wellsted, Family & Friends.

    Those extra small touches that you do is what sets you apart from other funeral directors. Nothing is too much. The service you provide is outstanding. You helped us every step of the way to ensure our wishes were met. I would also like to thank Father Michael. They way he delivered the service was just amazing. It's like he personally knew the departed. I thank you once again.
