Michael Courtney 13th Nov 2021

Very professional, helpful, respectful and full of compassion and empathy. I trusted them fully to care for my mums funeral and they did not let me down. Christine and Dawn are so lovely and go that extra mile to make sure everything is perfect. Steve our funeral conductor on the day was fantastic and so kind along with the rest of the team. They make a very sad and difficult day easier to cope with. Thank you

    I cannot thank Albins enough for everything they did for me and the support they gave me in organising Ray’s funeral at what was an extremely difficult time. They are so professional and caring in what they do. In particular Dawn who was absolutely amazing, a wonderful lady who was always there for me. I can’t thank you enough. The gentleman on the day were superb, very calming and kind. Thank you so much for your help and support. 

  • 5 Steve Ashdown 23rd Oct 2021

    Albins have done both my parents funerals, I have to say there attention to detail is outstanding !! 
    Jon and his colleagues are amazing and make a somewhat upsetting time in your life a whole lot easier by pretty much taking all the stress away to allow you to grieve with your loved ones. I not only have to thank Jon personally but Christine and Dawn at the Welling branch of Albins who were absolutely incredible with there patience, compassion throughout.
    Outstanding service, thank you for everything.

    I cannot thank the Albin’s team enough for their compassion and sensitivity. The entire team from office to the day itself conducted themselves with such professionalism that I cannot express the gratitude my sister and I feel for making a difficult day as easy as it could possibly be.  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

    I would recommend Albin’s without hesitation.

    Chris and Dawn cared for us at the Welling Branch and Steve and his team looked after us on the day. They were all extremely professional and at the same time very kind and anticipated everything we might need. They made everything so easy and kept us informed of progress as things went along and I took great comfort knowing that F A Albin were looking after my dear mother.

  • 5 Michael Barrett 6th Sep 2021

    We were really impressed with Albins start to finish and they've helped us plan a fine funeral day for my beloved Mum.

    Outstanding service, nothing was too much trouble and would definitely recommend. Christine and Steve went above and behind for us as a family. And Darren Pruce was amazing, my nan would have been so very proud of him for being so professional and strong for all our family.

  • 5 Hayley Turner-Dobbin 31st May 2021

    FA Albins were wonderful from start to finish they spoke to my mum to help he plan her funeral and didn't push any extras but listened to what she wanted. On her passing they were professional and compassionate. They made organising the day effortless and the personal touches they added were beautiful including Christine standing outside Albins as the cars drove passed and paid her respects ... George and the team on the day didn't rush us and couldn't do more for us. 100% would recommend.

  • 5 Adrian Markwell 1st May 2021

    We used their Welling branch and Christine was very attentive.
