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 praise how the staff guided them through arrangements with careful attention and genuine compassion. Several describe feeling supported at every stage, from initial phone calls through to planning meetings, with staff taking time to explain options and answer questions without pressure. A number mention how the funeral directors remembered personal details and went beyond standard service to accommodate specific wishes, whether that involved particular gestures, routes, or touches that made the day feel individual.
Families return repeatedly to the professionalism and dignity shown on the funeral day itself. Many describe the conduct of staff, the precision of the service, and how even small details—the bearing of the team, the timing, the arrangement of flowers at meaningful locations—conveyed respect and care. Several note that relatives and friends commented afterwards on how beautifully the funeral was organised and conducted.
Cost features in several reviews, with families saying they were concerned about expense but then relieved to find the charges were fair and transparent, with quotes coming quickly and without lengthy worry about affordability.
