F.A. Albin & Sons

5 Channa McGinn 5th Feb 2021

I cannot praise Albins and son's enough. We initially settled on a different well known funeral directors in dealing with the care of our mother. At a time when we were feeling so very saddened and distressed by her untimely passing, we found it so much more heart breaking to hear that this company was not offering much of a service for those who passed from covid. Refusing viewings (But allowing family to sit with a sealed coffin the day before her service) restricting cars to one per funeral (only seating a maximum of 4 passengers) and under no circumstances would they dress her, instead offered to lay an outfit of choice across her body.

Finding Albins was so comforting, and really lifted our spirits that mum would get a proper send off. No task is to big nor to small and our organiser, Joanna was just outstanding. I could contact her at any time of day and there was no anxious, long awaited correspondence. All queries were addressed professionally and promptly (within minutes in most cases). All stuff at Albins are welcoming and compassionate, they honestly provide an exceptional duty of care and do not permit covid to dominate the service you desire.

Albins, Joanna especially really lifted the stress and worry off our shoulders by handling every last detail. This in turn allowed us to concentrate on processing our emotions with total peace of mind.

I cannot thank, nor demonstrate how much gratitude my family and I have for Albins and son's. Do not hesitate in using this funeral directors, you truly will not be disappointed.

5 Vilna Abbott 25th Jan 2021

Excellent service from begining to end.
On arrival the receptionist was very polite and caring.
Scott looked after us and was also so caring to our needs.
Very professional.
The drivers of our cars were also very professional and caring.
But most of all the person who looked after our mum cosmetically
She looked so nice and very much at peace.
I could go on forever on the level of excellent service.
So thank you all so very very much for making it a little easier to deal with so many emotions.
Kind regards.
Vilna Abbott and family.

Always use Albin for family funeral services. Very personal and always respectful.

The on line streaming could be improved, the personal tribute with photos needs to  to be centre of the screen. Just looking at the pews and the back of peoples  does not make good viewing. It also looses the emotional connection with those present

I could not fault the support and guidance we had from the day my mum passed away. Caroline at Albins was very helpful with making the funeral arrangements and keeping in contact. On the day of the funeral everything went meticulously to plan and we felt very grateful for such a dignified farewell for my mum.

5 Lynn Armstrong 20th Jan 2021

I would like to thank Simon, John, Louie and everyone at Albins for taking good care of Danny Jull whilst he was there. I would have never been able to get through the last few weeks without their support, compassion and kindness. Also, including the ladies Christine, Caroline and Lynn who were very supportive when I went to see Danny everyday.
Albins were soo helpful throughout the funeral arrangements and nothing was ever to much trouble. On the day of the funeral their professionalism was exceptional and I am truly grateful to Albins for everything they have done for me and the family.
I would highly recommend Albins to anyone.

5 Marantholee Dockeray 15th Dec 2020

I would like to say a very big Thankyou to Simon, Lynn and Sylvia and the rest of the team at Albins for their outstanding work.
Your care and understanding goes beyond what words can describe. Being there for my family and I through a very sad and difficult time.
Also assisting me with all the logistics and granting my Grandfather his last wish to be laid to rest in his favourite island on earth and his birth place of Jamaica was tranquil.
Thanks again for going above and beyond much appreciation always.
Kind regards
Miss Dockeray

5 Sue Osborne 9th Dec 2020

The service I received was outstanding. The attention to detail was brilliant.

Saying goodbye to my husband was the sadest day of my life, but he would not have had the amazing send off that he had, if it wasn't for Albins.

Nothing was too much trouble. They exceeded all my expectations.

Absolutely a 100% first class service.

5 Sue Parish 8th Dec 2020

From our first phone call to Simon when we lost our loved one the care and service we received was exceptional. Nothing was ever too much trouble no matter what we asked. Everyone at Albins showed such compassion and care not only with us the family but also our loved one who was with them for a month before his funeral. Brilliant I wouldn’t use or recommend anyone else. 

5 Hollie Powditch 5th Dec 2020
