Organising a funeral for the first time, after just losing my Dad, was a very daunting prospect. From the first moment I contacted them right through to the end of the funeral, Albin's gently guided me through the whole process in a tactful and supportive way. I only had to speak to one person, Simon, from start to finish; this made such a difference because everything felt so personal. Simon was always prompt, responsive, professional, incredibly patient with any changes to plans and just very kind. He went out of his way to make things as easy and comfortable as possible for us. Given my family are Iranian, there were also some cultural differences in terms of the funeral (e.g. music, readings, practices); again, Albin's were excellent with all of this. I feel like I've been very lucky and I can't recommend them enough.

I cannot recommend F A Albin & Sons more strongly for their impeccable care and service. They are in a class of their own.

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 can I say that many people before me have also said.Albins go above and beyond to care for your loved one.they really do care,from making the first phone call,to being dropped of in the funeral car,after the funeral.the whole process is done with the upmost care,and  Albins do it in their  own special way so that it  takes some of the pressure  of you and your loved ones.My family and friends would like to thank Jon Simon and Scott for the way they cared for and helped plan such a wonderful funeral for my brother.Xx

  • 5 Debra Keable 8th Sep 2021

    The support we got in planning mum's funeral was truly great. Caroline supported and gave us direction when it was needed. To be honest we were lost and in need of direction and some posititvity and this was supplied in bundles. On the day John supported us and lead us along the way to give mum a send off she would of been proud of. Thank you all so much for the funeral you delivered, we could not fault it. Many thanks

  • 5 Ann Moore 30th Aug 2021

  • 5 Tina Gray 30th Aug 2021

    Outstanding service thank you x

  • 5 Eve Pape 27th Aug 2021

    I cannot put in to words how amazing Albins are. They treated us like family and one of their own. The kindness, love and support they showed us as family as well as how well they looked after my sister while she was asleep at Albins was unbelievable. They are beyond professional, respectful and thoughtful and they couldn’t have done anything better. We wouldn’t use anyone else but Albins and would recommend them to anyone and everyone.

  • 5 Karen Feehily 22nd Aug 2021

    All the staff at FA Albins were very helpful and supportive to our family at this very sad time.

    The service they provided was excellent.
