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 SummaryFamilies repeatedly emphasise the care and respect shown both to their loved ones and to themselves throughout the entire process. They describe how staff members listen carefully to their wishes, guide them through decisions without pressure, and handle arrangements with dignity and professionalism from the first conversation through to the funeral day.
On the day of the funeral itself, many families comment on the precision, organisation and composure of the team conducting the service. They note the attention to small details—the appearance and deportment of staff, the coordination of the cortege, thoughtful personal touches—that together create a sense that their loved one has been given something special and memorable.
Communication and availability emerge as subjects families return to often: they mention being kept updated at each stage, having questions answered promptly, and feeling able to contact the funeral director with concerns or requests, however small. Several families also note that costs were reasonable or transparent, which mattered to them at a time of worry.
