The family of Derek Johnson do not have the words to describe how grateful we are to Simon, Jon and all at Albins in Bermondsey for the caring, respectful way they handled the funeral of our brother. From start to finish, all the difficult decisions that had to be made in the run up to the funeral were made easier by the knowledge, experience and, above all, empathy of the Albins team and the support they gave us. The funeral was everything we could have hoped for and more and we would like a heartfelt thank for helping us to give Derek the send off he deserved. We will be recommending F. A. Albins Funeral Service to everyone we know.

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.

    A big thank you to Dawn and the team at the Welling branch, who recently helped us organise our Mum's funeral. Everyone was so compassionate and understanding, guiding us through every step. On the day, they were so helpful and considerate, whilst remaining very professional at all times.

    The whole team at Albins are superb. Everyone I met and spoke with were compassionate  and understanding. On the day their presentation and conduct were impeccable. It absolutely made the day so much easier to deal with. 

  • 5 Michael O’Brien 21st Aug 2022

    We found the help and service provided at all stages from picking up Tim's body at his home to the Cremation service at Hither Green to be everything we needed as a family to bring closure for Tim's untimely death

    In particular both Caroline and Lynn were always available to answer any questions about funeral matters and at the cremation Owen provided just the right balance with the Service and George and the team the level of support we needed throughout the ceremony

    I am deeply grateful to everyone at FA Albins for their care and compassion. A wonderful and respectful team 

  • 5 linda watson 24th Jul 2022

    From the start of my journey with Albins to the end i cannot fault the service and the caring for both my Mum and for my family. I felt relief knowing Mum was safe and being loved in their care from the first second. I could not have wished to be accompanied on this journey with anyone other than Caroline Morrison. At a time where my whole world went insane Caroline calmed me and made it easier for me to plan what i needed with her kindness, caring and guidance. Cannot thank Caroline and Albins enough for making Mums day perfect. Cannot recommend highly enough.

  • 5 Sarah Weems 12th Jul 2022

    F A Albin and sons professionalism was prestige, Danny and Chris went over and beyond and had the upmost respect for our mum and for us as a family.
    Everything ran smoothly and nothing felt rushed from all that attended we’ve had nothing but praise saying it was a beautiful service,to the best funeral they’d been to.
    Jay Britton who sang both at Holy trinity and Honor oak crematorium has a beautiful effortless voice and to Caroline who helped us organise everything for her patience and understanding we couldn’t be more thankful it was in its entirety the best and most beautiful send off our lovely mum deserved 

  • 5 Paul Deverson 11th Jul 2022

    We found Albins to be extremely professional and personal from the first contact to very end.
    All the staff were excellent and we would recommend using Albins every time
