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.

  • 5 Sheila Mclean 23rd Mar 2020

    We cannot praise Albins enough they were very considerate to us when our Dad and recently our Brother passed away. As soon as they receive a loved one you know they will be treated with dignity, and from all aspects of the funeral, to the little touches they do that mean so much at this sad time right through to scattering the ashes. You are kind and thoughtful and we thank you.

  • 5 Gary Rowe 11th Mar 2020

  • 5 Lesley Wellsted 18th Feb 2020


    From the bottom of my heart I would like to thank Albins for conducting John’s funeral. From my initial phone call with Simon through to the final stages of the funeral day everything was carried out to perfection and beyond. Dave, our driver was very caring and considerate and Jamie was wonderful. 
    I have received many comments from people who attended the funeral to say how professional Albins were. They really are a cut above the rest.
    Again, I would like to thank Simon and everyone at Albins a massive thank you for making what has been a very difficult time for me and my family, a much easier process to handle. 
    Thank you. Lesley Wellsted

  • 5 Christopher Soltysiak 3rd Feb 2020

    I approached a few Funeral companies but Albins were willing to come to the house and discuss my needs at a time of emotional distress. Nothing was too much trouble and they didn’t need to hard sell. They were described by my Minister as the Rolls Royce of Funeral Directors when we went to the committal and their service all round was excellent! I am now planning to put in my will that they should be used for my own funeral. Really good at understanding the difficulties of your wife suddenly dying and doing anything you want - including in my case taking my wife outside London and driving 60 miles to the cemetery. Thank you can totally recommend this company. 

  • 5 Charlie Orris 26th Jan 2020

  • 5 Barry Notcutt 3rd Jan 2020

    My family have always used Albins throughout the years from generation to generation. They are the most professional, attentive funeral directors who go above and beyond to make each loved ones send off perfect and unique. 

  • 5 Tamika Alli 23rd Dec 2019

    Thank you soo much for your service. Without your help and support, I don’t think me and my family could have got through this difficult time  . They are nice and understanding. Also going above and beyond. Very compassionate and I feel like I wasn’t getting treated like a customer but as family.  
    I would recommend them to anyone who has to unfortunately go through a difficult time such as this. They will make the journey, just that little easier 

  • 5 Bill Linehan 20th Dec 2019

    From the start of our bereavement Scott from Albin's was patient and took us through the whole process and did everything from arranging a fantastic priest ( Father Michael Branch. Who gave us a service that no one who was there will ever forget, absolutely brilliant ).
    Scott also arranged the service cards which were designed that took my breath away. The staff at Culling Road who took great care of my sister's 2 grandchildren whilst she and her husband visited our late father in the chapel of rest. the team who took care of us on the day of the funeral were absolutely fantastic and made a very sad day go smoothly and easy for my Mum & Family & myself.
    I would recommend F.A.Albins as they took the stress & fear out of arranging our late Fathers funeral and made it a send off that he would have been proud of.

  • 5 Peter Lines 20th Dec 2019

    On behalf of myself and all of our families and friends, I would like to to thank Albins for Jill’s funeral arrangements and the excellent way that it was carried out prior to, and on the day.
