As always Albins are top notch, I have used them several times and every time I have had exceptional service. Shirley from the Brandon St branch so professional and makes a sad situation so much easier. The funeral staff members were also exceptional and just made the whole process easier. Thank you all .

We cannot thank Shirley and the team at Albins enough for their compassion, professionalism, and care during such a challenging time. From the very first contact, they treated our family with kindness, patience, and genuine understanding. Every detail was managed with dignity and efficiency, which gave us peace of mind when we needed it most. They guided us through each step clearly, listened to our wishes, and ensured everything was conducted exactly as requested. Their support made an incredibly hard experience much more manageable, and we are profoundly grateful for the service they provided.

    They are thoughtful, caring and so professional. James was amazing with my mentally ill son who didn't come to funeral. Our driver Louis was also amazing and just a nice down to earth guy, would definitely recommend. We only use Albins and have done with most of our family.

    Following the devastating loss of my loved one, I was facing numerous challenges. From the moment I contacted Albins, I received unparalleled support. Their professionalism was matched only by their genuine compassion. Shirley O'Gallaghan was instrumental in guiding me through every step, providing organisation and comfort amidst my grief. The funeral service itself was flawlessly executed, exceeding my expectations in its respectful and dignified manner. The team's patience, understanding, and attention to detail made a heartbreaking experience bearable. I wholeheartedly recommend Albins to anyone facing a similar loss.

  • 5 Julie Walker 16th Jun 2025

  • 5 Emi Wokoma 8th Jun 2025

    The second time using their services, the most stunning team and service both times for both our parents.
    This time was very delicate as it was for our beloved mother and the dignity and care and empathy is incredible.
    Every step of the way, Shirley kept me well informed, nothing was too much for her.
    On the day, the pallbearers and Alfie was so caring and kind, again keeping me informed of the proceedings and even allowing me and my husband to have our own time at the graveside after the ceremony. Nothing felt rushed at all. The music at the graveside was a touch. Honestly I could go on. Thank you Shirley, Alfie and the Albins team. God bless you all.

  • 5 Irene Brace 6th Jun 2025

    From bringing my loved one Jim, to his home, the journey to the crematorium, helping the family of pallbearers, showing us to the flowers, back to the wake, I cannot thank Albin enough. It was a perfect day... for a perfect individual. Thank you.

  • 5 Alan Jones 20th Apr 2025

    This is the first time I had to arrange a funeral, it was very pleasant to arrange it over the phone (I live over 100 miles away) Shirley made it so easy 
    On the day of the funeral just before we left one of the team placed a single yellow rose on the doorstep, one of the team walked in front of the hurst and another walked at the side of the hurst.

    I have never seen so much care given to the funeral party at the house and the church 

  • 5 Colin Goodridge 31st Mar 2025

    Without a shadow of doubt, F.A. Albin Walworth, are the most professional, considerate, heartwarming people I have ever had the pleasure (within very sad circumstances) to meet.
    My brother, Steve's, Funeral was the third I have had the misfortune to arrange in very short succession.
    The first, being the introduction to Shirley, George and Jamie, from FA Albin Walworth, was for My Dad in 2022.
    From collecting my dad from his home, shortly after his passing, to the helpful, caring approach at the office when organising, to the impressive day they created for My Dad, allowing us to have a send off that we could only have hoped for, they blew us (My entire family and friends) away. 

    So following my dear wife's passing in 2023, there was absolutely "no doubt" as to the "ONLY" Funeral Directors I would trust with my most precious of possessions and OH WOW !!! FA Albin Walworth, organised by Shirley and orchestrated by George and Jamie, once again, along with an army of extremely smartly dressed gentlemen, with their impressive limousines, that just oozes class, professionalism and a thoughtful caring approach, that ensures every single minute detail has been thought through and executed with total and complete thoughtfulness and heartfelt dignity, from a company that is not just doing a job or a service, they are actually holding your hands and your heart and really are immersed into making sure that this final mark of respect for your loved one, in this case, My Beautiful Wife Gina, who was taken too early, gave mine and Gina's family an unforgettable memorable day full of love and respect, that you feel from each and everyone of the FA Albin Walworth Team and something that everyone comments on still today.
    They have created a standard that is head and shoulders above any other.

    Therefore when my younger brother Steve was taken from us suddenly, it was an absolute no brainer as to whom I would trust with his fairwell.

    Its also worth mentioning, that I shall be entering into 'The Pre Arrangement Package' for myself, as I would 'ONLY WANT' these people to lay me to rest, when that day final comes.

    So once again to Shirley, George, Jamie and the Entire FA Albin Team, from the bottom of my heart, Thankyou Kindly, for being there once again and for being who you all are !! "The Best of The Best"

    Kindest Regards
    Colin Goodridge.

    If I were able to give more than 5 stars I would. Shirley from the Walworth office was kind, helpfull and professional.
    The staff that attended the funeral with us were wonderful, very respectful and helped steer us through a very difficult and emotional day.
    My family and I recommend this company wholeheartedly.

  • 5 Ann-Marie Greely 26th Jan 2025

    Excellent service from beginning to end. All our needs and questions were dealt with in such a way that even though it is a difficult time you were reassured that everything would be perfect and the exact way you want it.

    From start to finish, we were accompanied through every process we asked for and also those required that we hadn't thought of. Never felt rushed, no questions too silly.
    Mum's funeral went so well and we are still receiving warm wishes from all who attended.

  • 5 Teresa Tovar De Iannello 22nd Sep 2024

    Albin & Sons, Walworth have been so incredible when organising my husband’s funeral. Their care to our family, professionalism and respect helped us to get through this difficult time. We had no worries or concerns, Shirley gave us all the help and confidence we needed. A huge thank you to Pauline, our celebrant who was so kind, compassionate and helped us plan a beautiful service.
