Excellent service through out the whole process.

Karen Simkin 29th Aug 2020

F. A. Albin & Sons delivered exceptional service to us during a difficult time. They guided us gently through the process and nothing was too much trouble to ensure dad got the send off he had desired. The small touches that we added last minute were not too much trouble to make it a truly personal funeral. Well done to Scott and the whole team, you were terrific.

Josephine Okungbowa 29th Aug 2020

Simon and his team were extremely exceptional in the care given to my late brother and my family. Thank you Albin for the fantastic send off given to my late brother.  For this, we are forever grateful. Josephine

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.
