    F.A. Albin and Sons did my father proud, attention to details were always first class.

    I thank Shirley at Walworth branch for the arrangement, taking in Dad and looking after him whilst he was in the Chapel. Thank you.

    Thanks to the Co-ordinator Danny on the day with running of the ceremony and assisting myself and family to carry Dad into Chapel.

    And to the rest of the staff on the day too, Jamie, Paul and Willaim.

  • 5 Michelle Dillon 15th Feb 2022

    I went to F.A Albin, Walworth to initially make some enquiries as my father had died. I was all over the place.

    Shirley was brilliant!! Accommodating and informative every step of the way. My family were so impressed and Danny was just as amazing on the day. We all know that it's a difficult time, losing a loved one. The compassion for my family from Shirley and team made such a terrible time, slightly more bearable.

    We could not recommend these guys more highly from the minute we were in contact with them, they made everything so easy Shirley was amazing as were the guys who carried out the funeral so respectfully and professionally.
    It was like having family carry out the funeral they were respectful but also got our humour. We all agree that when our time comes they are the only people we would want to carry out our funerals.

  • 5 Steven Savage 28th Jan 2022

  • 5 Zoe Holbourne 25th Jan 2022

    Myself, my sister and my Stepmother were all delighted with the way F A Albin Walworth conducted the funeral and the arrangements therewith. From start to finish the service was dignified, noble and efficient. Shirley at the branch was warm and full of advice and suggestions. The Reverend John Walker who she recommended to conduct the service was extremely professional and welcoming and the service went without a hitch. On the day, the drivers and pallbearers were very pleasant, warm and professional. We were extremely pleased with the way the funeral itself was conducted. We also thought that our beloved Peter was presented in an excellent way in the Chapel of Rest, he looked so peaceful and so much himself. The recommendation for the lady who did the flowers, Flowers by Tanya, was also first class. Everything about the arrangements were top notch from start to finish; thank you F A Albin for your professional conduct and your service which made the funeral so special.

  • 5 Phyllis Copeland 23rd Jan 2022

    An excellent professional service from start to finish. All the staff that we had contact with were respectful, patient and very informative in answering  any questions that we had. From Shirley in the Walworth branch, to the team who took care of proceedings on the funeral day, I can’t fault any of them and would highly recommend Albin’s to care of any funeral arrangements. A fantastic service!

  • 5 Shahla Greer 16th Jan 2022

    I would like to say that a huge thank you to Shirley at Albins Walworth, She was lovely. 
    It made arranging my mum’s funeral so much less stressful. On the day I couldn’t have asked for more. The funeral was beautiful and everything we’d asked for.

  • 5 Domenica Catino 19th Dec 2021

    I cannot praise Albins enough. Shirley Danny and the drivers were amazing when my mum died 8 days after burying dad. We used Albins walworth  branch for dad and they were so amazing we went back for mum. Nothing is to much trouble and the most important thing for me is how they treated my parents with dignity.  Highly recommended. 

  • 5 Susan Brown 21st Nov 2021

  • 5 Domenica Catino 13th Nov 2021

    I had originally gone with another company which I was not satisfied with.  Got in touch with Shirley at Albins and straightaway a date was set .. arranged everything - all with dignity and respect for my dad. They were truly amazing and I am setting up a funeral plan for mum and myself with them as I know that it will be the professional dignified respectful service they gave my dad 

  • 5 Ann Highman 6th Nov 2021

    All the staff from the first meeting, to the day of the Funeral and beyond.  We were looked after as if it was there family. I cannot thank them enough for the kindness they showed to us at such a difficult time.
