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 digni ... ty 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.  more

    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 could give more stars I would.  I honestly could not of wished for any better. The care and respect they gave my late husband even down to the small touches they done on the day was brilliant. Under the circumstances their compassion, care, respect and understanding they gave me and family was second to none. I wanted to do my husband proud and lay him to rest the best possible way I could and I can not thank all the staff at F.A Albin enough for helping me achieve that

  • 5 Maggie Delaney 8th Apr 2024

    The service we received from Shirley and the team at Albins has been extremely professional, caring, and compassionate, from the first moment of contact to completion of their services, it has been impeccable.

    The hearse and limousines were spotless, we found Danny and his team smart, exceptionally professional, and kind.

    At such a devastating time, losing a beloved mother, the whole experience was made more bearable, knowing that our mother was treated with such dignity and care by a professional organisation.

    Thank you Albins. We are profoundly grateful. The Delaney Family.
