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.

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.

F.A. Albins & Sons – Exceptional Service with True Class From start to finish, the service provided by F.A. Albins & Sons has been nothing short of impeccable. They truly ooze class in every aspect of what they do. Following the passing of my father at St Christopher’s Hospice, I dealt directly with Simon, who was absolutely incredible. From the very first moment, he took exceptional care of my dad with dignity, compassion, and professionalism. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and his calm guidance made an incredibly difficult time much easier for our family. While arranging my father’s funeral, we sadly also lost my uncle, and once again we entrusted F.A. Albins & Sons with the arrangements. Without hesitation, they delivered the same outstanding level of care, support, and attention to detail. From the outset, nothing was a problem. My father’s funeral itself was a truly wonderful send-off. Jamie, who led the service on the day, was outstanding. Every element was carried out with precision and respect, and every plan was executed perfectly. One moment that will stay with me forever was seeing all five limousines lined up behind the hearse outside my parents’ home, with each driver standing respectfully by their door, hats held at their midriff. It was a powerful and deeply moving sight, a moment of dignity and respect that I will never forget or stop cherishing. I cannot thank Simon, Jamie, and the entire team at F.A. Albins & Sons enough for their hard work, compassion, and professionalism. They delivered a beautiful farewell for my father, and their service throughout has been nothing short of exceptional.
