Lesley Cooper 1st May 2023

Sensitive, supportive and very professional team, led by Simon. Listened to how we wanted the funeral to be and made a very sad occasion one to be proud of. I would not consider any other funeral director.

Mark Fuller 25th Apr 2023

Dignity, respect and perfection would sum up Albins as a company, nothing is too much trouble for them. My mum had the best possible send off and it was all down to the professionalism of Albins. Also the price was very reasonable.

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.

    From the moment you let them know you would like your beloved deceased taken to them,  they work with you every step of the way with the utmost respect for your loved one and yourself and family! They take care of every little detail with care and support! They take away as much stress from you as possible! On the day of the funeral it was an absolutely amazing day, sad but perfect for my wonderful husband Kevin! I’m so grateful to them. They’re so thoughtful and kind, I can’t thank them enough!
