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.

From the first phone call to Albin's they have been excellent from Joanna guiding us through the arrangements to the team on the day headed up by Lee. Nothing was too much trouble. Local Bermondsey people have been using Albin's for years, their standards are and have always been very high. Thank you.
5 Jacqueline Keevil 25th Oct 2016

Simon, Jon & all the staff at Albins helped make a very difficult time for us all so much easier. The professionalism and empathy demonstrated by everyone of the team was truly exceptional, from the initial meeting, the planning and the day of the funeral itself. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you all so much.
