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 SummaryMany families describe the care and compassion shown by staff at every stage, from initial contact through the funeral day itself. They note that the process of arranging a funeral felt guided and supported rather than rushed or transactional, with staff taking time to understand what families wanted and treating their loved ones with dignity.
Communication and accessibility emerge as significant themes, with families appreciating staff who remained available to answer questions, offered clear explanations of what to expect, and kept them informed throughout. Several mention feeling listened to and supported during decisions they had never faced before.
A number of reviews touch on cost, with families noting that prices were reasonable or more affordable than expected, and that despite requesting more elaborate arrangements, the final quote did not present the financial burden they had anticipated.

A big thank you to Dawn and the team at the Welling branch, who recently helped us organise our Mum's funeral. Everyone was so compassionate and understanding, guiding us through every step. On the day, they were so helpful and considerate, whilst remaining very professional at all times.

The whole team at Albins are superb. Everyone I met and spoke with were compassionate and understanding. On the day their presentation and conduct were impeccable. It absolutely made the day so much easier to deal with.

We found the help and service provided at all stages from picking up Tim's body at his home to the Cremation service at Hither Green to be everything we needed as a family to bring closure for Tim's untimely death In particular both Caroline and Lynn were always available to answer any questions about funeral matters and at the cremation Owen provided just the right balance with the Service and George and the team the level of support we needed throughout the ceremony
