A very sad day when Mum passed but she couldn’t have been cared for or looked after better and having Mum rest at the Mottingham Branch so she was nearer for us to go to and see her helped greatly - moving back to Bermondsey prior to the day of the funeral with everything going as well as it could on such a sad day - a big thank you to Neil at Mottingham and Simon, Jon and all the staff at Bermondsey. 

Debbie Parsons 8th Jul 2018

Albins are an excellent funeral company. The staff provide a first class, reliable,respectable, proffesional service. They understand the different patterns of grief and show empathy, compassion, sympathy, warmth and support. I have used Albins twice now for my Mother and Father and the service is outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble for them, they give that extra mile. They keep you informed and answer all the questions you throw at them. Simon and John have taken over the company since their Father passed and are doing a first class job. Lynn arranged everything for both parents and I cannot fault a thing. Everyone still talks about the professionalism, dedication and care they show during the service. I woulnd't use any other company. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for taking both services and supporting our family at a very difficult time.

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.

    Outstanding service from start to finish, so professional, kind, warm and made the whole process much easier to bear. Lynn at the Bermondsey centre was absolutely wonderful and on the day, Simon conducted everything perfectly, along with the rest of the team. Absolutely seamless, they sent my dad off with the utmost class and respect. Wouldn’t go to anyone else to handle our loved ones for their final journey.

  • 5 Jeff Menday 30th Mar 2018

    Excellent service and respectfully organised. Made the process very easy.

  • 5 Kathleen Flockhart 13th Mar 2018

    Outstanding 

  • 5 Rebecca Cripps 5th Mar 2018

    Your service and care for our family and my brother Jason was outstanding. 

    You went over and beyond from  the moment we met with Simon at your office right through to the day of the funeral, we were made to feel well taken care of.

    We couldn’t have asked for Jason to have been taken better care of and the family were so touched by the effort that was made. 

    A beautiful touch and one I will never forget is when a single rose was placed on my doorstep before we left. It blew me away.

    Every single member of you staff was dignified and respectful and for that we will be eternally grateful.

    Best wishes to all at Albins

    The Du-Haney Family

  • 5 Linda Woodham 2nd Mar 2018

  • 5 Miles Bossom 26th Feb 2018

    FA Albins did an amazing job from start to finish and helped take away a lot of stress at a very stressful time. They were thoughtful, responsive, courteous, respectful and I cannot say enough good things about the service they offer.

    I would highly recommend this company.

  • 5 Richard Juby 24th Feb 2018

    Cannot thank Albins enough. From the first moment I walked in the kindness and understanding that was shown to myself and my family helped us through a difficult time. We will always be grateful for the help given to us and will never forget the wonderful service they provided. Thank you Joanna and all at Albins.
