From the very first phone call through to the day of the funeral itself, the staff at Albin's have been wonderful. Their professionalism and care was a great comfort for all of the family at a very difficult time. They are a class act and I can't thank them enough.

Paul Warren 15th Dec 2020

The whole experience of losing my Mum was extremely traumatic. However the warmth, kindness and support that we as a family received from Albin's was exemplary. From start to finish we were looked after and supported from booking in, to our many visits to see Mum. On the day of the funeral I would like to make a personal thank you to Danny who said he would be looking after us on the day and more than lived up to that. However. our biggest thanks go to Christine and Dawn from the Welling office who were absolutely unbelievable and without whom we would never have been able to manage. They both went above and beyond to make a terrible situation bearable for us and I really cannot thank them enough. They will be forever in our thoughts. Paul Warren

For anyone that has the heart breaking task of choosing a funeral directors services. I can honestly say look no further. From my very first encounter with Albin's through to the day of the service and even in the weeks that passed after, their team have been amazing. This isn't just a job and a service they provide, they genuinely care and guide you through the process of one of the hardest things you will ever have to do. My gratitude and thanks to the team can never be replicated in words that truly convey how much I appreciated and relied on them. Thank you so much. You are all amazing. Maxine Gridley

  • 5 Irene Griffin 2nd Oct 2020

    We can’t thank Albin & Sons enough for all their help and support during this difficult time. Nothing was to much trouble. We have been using Albin & Sons for years and have always received such high standards. 

    A special mention to Steve and Chris who from the very start gave us excellent service and support and help give our loved one an amazing send off.

    For this we are forever greatful!

  • 5 Brian Keeler 23rd Aug 2020

    We are so pleased that we chose Albin's (Welling) at what was a very traumatic time for all the family. Chris (Manager) talked us through each stage of the process with kindness, compassion and professionalism. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Everything went smoothly from beginning to end and was entirely stress free thanks to Chris and her team. There is nothing more we can say except, "Thank you so much Chris. We will never forget the help and support that you gave us".

    The staff at Albins Welling were helpful and courteous from the first phone call and up to the day of the funeral. 

  • 5 Sheila Linge 8th Jul 2020

    I have used other undertakers when my parents died but I can honestly say that FA Albins is in a different league.
    They are true professionals who made a very difficult day much easier (especially with all the restrictions that are in place with Covid 19).I would like to thank the all team at Welling for all the kindness and respect that they showed my husband and family.

  • 5 Shane Harris 22nd Jun 2020

    Faultless. Very good service. Professional, polite and considerate throughout. Very appreciative and could not be happier with service provided. 

  • 5 Stephen Duke 30th May 2020

  • 5 Paul Montgomery 16th May 2020

    Thank-you so much for looking after my Mothers funerals. Even though I couldn't be there during the lockdown, I was informed by other members of my family how good the people were on the day and doing those extra things that just made the funeral. Particular comment from the family was the stop outside the Church and placing of a flower, as very special moment that the family really appreciated. Special thanks to Christine at the Welling office for her all help.

  • 5 Derian Keyms 30th Apr 2020

    We used Albins because they were so professional, kind and respectful when acting for the coroner. So we chose them to direct my father's funeral. We couldn't fault them in any way - we have nothing but praise for how they handled everything particularly their sensitivity for difficulties arising out of the Coronavirus restrictions. We would like to extend our thanks to all of the people that helped us, but especially to Paul Rutherford who very kindly came and helped us again even though he had his own sorrows at the time.

  • 5 Clare Wand 25th Apr 2020

    The professionalism of the team was second to none we were so impressed. The whole experience of dealing with Albins was an absolute pleasure despite the difficult circumstances.

  • 5 Paul Stevens 13th Apr 2020

    Despite the circumstances we were faced with, Albins performed the service with professionalism. Even the nice touch of driving past their shop to see staff bow when the hearse drove past was touching . Thanks to Chris for making things easy to understand and helping us through the weeks leading up to dad's service.Thank you all for treating my dad with dignity on what was a sad day for the family.

    Thanks again

  • 5 George Hopkins 30th Mar 2020

    Our thanks & gratitude to Dawn, Chris & all at Albins in Welling. Your kindness & support was very much appreciated at this difficult time. You listened to what we wanted for Mum & on the day, it was just as we had asked for. Steve & his team were so attentive & respectful. The little additional touches were lovely, the rose on our door, the memory box & book. and the beautiful horses made it so special. We cannot thank you enough. We will not hesitate to recommend Albins to family & friends. Kind regards Chris & George

  • 5 Susan Hobbs 27th Jan 2020

    I have been sitting here trying to find the most appropriate words to describe these Funeral Directors and all the staff they have working for them. (We used the Welling branch). If there was another level above first class, they would be at the very top of that level. The branch manager Christine met myself, my son and daughter at our appointment to discuss the funeral of my husband. She was the most compassionate and amazing lady. She went through all the details with us in a most concise and compassionate way and made us feel very at ease. She recommended Father Michael to do our service and advised us that he came highly recommended. He could not have been any nicer. It was an absolute pleasure to meet with him at our home to talk about my husband. He very much put us at ease with his excellent sense of humour, which we loved and felt he was the perfect choice to speak about my husband as when he was alive, he had a similar sense of humour so it seemed the perfect choice. Once the date was set for the funeral my daughter then went about sorting out the order of service and was in constant contact with Christine or Father Michael if needed. Nothing was too much trouble and they were very approachable. If we had any questions they and other members of staff were only too happy to help and steer us in the right direction. The day before the funeral I received a call from Christine who advised us how the day was going to unfold. On the day, I was met by George and his staff who were absolutely impeccably dressed and treated us with the utmost respect and professionalism that took my breath away. They dealt with every issue that arose i.e. flower cards that had been forgotten, they had duplicates which we could use, they were extremely calm put us all at ease and I am now going to refer you back to first class levels again!!! We arrived at the crematorium and we had asked if family could carry our coffin in. The guys were extremely kind and helpful as all the guys carrying our coffin were different heights!! The service could not have been better. Father Michael sounded as if he almost knew my husband and we were all so happy with the service. People are still sending us comments about F A Albin Welling and Father Michael and saying that the service could not have gone any better and we did my husband proud. I cannot thank this company and all of its employees enough. My husband's family were extremely happy with his send off and all of our friends too. Our funeral was at 11.00 am. We left The Seven Acre Sports and Social Club 10.00pm (which was where we held the celebration afterwards). As sad as it was it definitely felt like a celebration which my daughter was desperate to achieve. I highly recommend this company and all of its impeccably trained staff who provided a service with, in my opinion, levels off the scale.

  • 5 Colin, Gail, Lucy Sam and Tom Wouldham 19th Jan 2020

    The team at Welling were superb and helped us arrange everything for the funeral of our dear Dad with sensitivity and kindness. Christine in particular was brilliant at taking us through everything.

    On the day of the funeral itself, George was also fantastic.

    A, professional team, but with genuine human warmth.

  • 5 Sam Wright 16th Dec 2019

    Thanks to Albin's, for making my Nan's funeral such a great occasion. The guys on the day couldn't have been more helpful and I would like to thank them on behalf of the whole family.

  • 5 Dawn Boultwood 15th Oct 2019

    Fabulous service by the Albins team from the moment I first called them, until my Uncle was buried. They were respectful, understanding, helpful, efficient and thorough. Christine's customer service skills were above the call of duty. I cannot recommend Albins enough.
