Could not have done anymore. Kindness, empathy and professionalism. All I can add is thank you. You treated my dad as if one of your relatives.

Our family would like to thank Albins for their professionalism and caring support in preparation for the funeral and the actual day. Nothing was too much bother, in fact, they pointed us in the right direction to get things done. Thoroughly recommend Albins.

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.

    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.
