I would have no doubts in recommending Albins.  The arrangements and attention to detail given to my mothers recent funeral was second to none.

We used Albins for our Brothers Funeral they were excellent from the Moment we walked through the door. Caroline guided us through and was so kind and a complete professional we will never forget her kindness ..On the day of the Funeral we had Danny to guide us again his kindness and professionalism shone through in fact the whole Company were wonderful it's all the little touches but they all mean so much Thank you to everyone at F A Albins

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 Alan Neeson 11th Nov 2022

    A very professional and warm environment. Caroline was amazing and organised the funeral exactly as we wanted and was always there if we needed to ask anything. The day itself was beautiful as can be with professional staff supporting us all the way through. A celebrant was arranged through Caroline who gave a stunning service. We cannot thank everyone enough. 

  • 5 Adam Boome 1st Nov 2022

    We couldn't have wanted for better funeral directors. Albins have cared for 2 very good friends of ours who died young from their death until after the funeral. They did it with sensitivity and great skill, which is why my wife wanted to use them for her funeral when she knew she was dying. She would not have been disappointed. They guided us through the process and made all of hers and our wishes reality.

  • 5 Louisa Wilson 30th Oct 2022

    From the first phone call the service they have provided has been exceptional very professional, patient and considerate at such a hard time everything I would have expected without knowing what I was expecting in the haze of grief, the extra beautiful touches like placing a flower outside my dad's door for respect was just beautiful. This was the first time I'm I've had to arrange a funeral by myself I honestly didn't feel alone the pallbearers Owen the priest and Scott you can tell it's more than a job to you I can't thank you enough it's still early days with the grief but I know in the future looking back the service you provided and the day I will hold close to my heart it was a brilliant send off! thanks to you guys

  • 5 Roselyne Kaguo 2nd Oct 2022

    I really would like to commend F A Albin&Sons for the way they received us from Day One and guided us through a very unexpected and difficult time in our lives. The compassion and care they demonstrated was reassuring and they were always available to respond to our many questions, as we had never been through this process before. I would like to especially thank Joanna and Scott for bearing with us and being so kind. This really eased our minds and made a difficult situation less burdensome.They took over the process and what a relief this was to us who were grieving. Thank you to all the lovely staff who worked behind the scenes throughout this period and also on the day of the burial. God bless you all.

  • 5 Lizzy Moberley 28th Sep 2022

    Complete professionals and they provided very kind, sensitive and thoughtful support through planning our father's funeral. It was dignified and everything ran perfectly. We are truly grateful for all of it. Many thanks.

  • 5 Bridget Perry 27th Sep 2022

    When someone dies people say ‘there are no words’ well that also applies when it comes to thanking Simon John and all the team, they are very professional but also have the personal touch. Their reputation speaks volumes for them and they are an integral of the community and are very understanding and when needed give advice and guidance. When you first visit them you know you and your loved ones are in safe hands.

  • 5 Trudy Lawrence 26th Sep 2022

    My husband's prepaid funeral plan was delivered with care and understanding.Optimum support was given to me and my family and all our wishes were dealt with with empathy. The funeral service and subsequent burial including requested music were delivered respectfully and in perfect taste. The sincerity of all staff at Albin's was a great comfort. Thank you.

  • 5 Andrew Loizou 21st Sep 2022

    The best ! Professional,friendly & comforting ! No complaints here :)

  • 5 Hilary Prince 18th Sep 2022

    I cannot fault the service given by F.A. Albin and Sons. From the first visit to the premises to discuss the funeral, the telephone calls and emails to confirm decisions made, to being driven back to the wake, it was the most professional service I have encountered in a very long time. Every single member of the personnel I met were exemplary in their care and attention to detail and I felt well guided throughout the whole process. This helped me mourn as I wished, without having to concern myself with the minutia of the day.
