Absolute excellence from day one. I was panicking having to organise the actual funeral but Elaine James took all the stress out of what I was dreading having to do, the arrangements. On the actual day of the funeral your first class staff made the day run perfectly, it couldn’t of been more perfect. I truly thank all Albins staff involved.

I first used Albins 10 years ago for my dad, they were brilliant.
Then for my mum in August 2024.
Then for my husband in October 2024.
Albins are very professional and full of respect for the deseased and family members.
I would never go anywhere else.

From the moment I first spoke to Dan on the the conductor brother Jason and I knew albin and hitchcocks were the only funeral directors to use.
His guidance throughout was second to none.
Alfie and the team on the day were impeccable throughout and looked after everyone.
Thank you for everything. -

Thank you to everyone at Albins who helped us as a family through the most difficult day of our lives. Their kind, caring and professionalism was outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble from the initial contact right through to the service. A special mention to Chris who was the conducter and Rudsy who drove Paul.

We cannot recommend Albins enough. The service was outstanding. Jo and Steve are warm, friendly and kind. They took care of our precious child in the most caring and respectful way. Planning a funeral is not something anyone wants to do but it was handled with sensitivity and consideration. The premises is spotless and feels very homely. The 'bedrooms' are such a special way to refer to the place loved ones are resting in and are presented in a way that is comfortable to spend time in. This isnt an experience we ever expected to go through, but the gratitude, admiration and absolute respect we have for Jo and Steve is immense. Thank you, we will forever be grateful for how you took care of the most precious part of us.

Elaine and Lynn are wonderful, they took care of our family with discretion and kindness.
Every detail was arranged for us so we that we could focus on our grief and sorrow for our loved one.
The whole team was wonderful, they also paid their respect outside the main branch when we passed with the hearse on the way to the cemetery. That was a lovely touch and greatly appreciated.
In the most difficult moment of life they are there for you and it's comforting to know that you are in safe and kind hands, cannot thank them enough. ❤️

Hello, we were very impressed and truly grateful for the speed with which Simon was able to take our dad from the nursing home into your care. On that day, we had the wedding of my son (who lives in New York) and the call to my sister regarding my dad's death was difficult enough to deal with. The meeting with Christine and her work in the organisation of the support by Albins, the Order of Service and all the final details was superb.
My only comment would be that for some reason the funeral car with myself, my Uncle and sisters stopped at Kemnal Greenacres so we could use the facilities but then unfortunately drove up to the entrance to the chapel so we all had to then walk this last section. Having said that, Alfie made a huge effort on the way to Kemnal to pass by my father's favourite place and local bowls club to lay a flower.
We were so pleased we chose Albins to look after my dad's final journey. -

This is the second time I have used F.A. Albin at Sidcup. They make what is an awful process so much easier. Genuine, warm, welcoming and understanding - nothing is too much trouble. Thank you Albins x

We have been very happy with Albins from day 1 with our meeting with Christine. They have been extremely helpful at the welling branch and even if you call and go through to another branch. Always happy for you to call with any concerns from day 1. All at Albins from Christine to the men who brought dad to the crematorium have been extremely respectful.
Thank you all at Albins -

Our family were originally with a different funeral director. We were far from happy with how things were going. Just by chance my sister and I popped in and had a talk with Lyn and I must say how lovely of a person she is. Very sweet, soft, empathetic and understanding. Lyn went above and beyond to ensure that everyone was taken care of, especially the care of our mother who was transferred to their care.
We are so happy with how speedy and precise the arrangements were managed. The day of our mother’s funeral went smoothly. The otherwise, pall bearers (the family carried mummy into the service), were lovely and very kind. Jaime lead and ensured the family were well taken care of.
I couldn’t be happier with everything they have done for the family and we thank you for all of your support and care towards us and for taking good care of our beloved mummy.
Thank you all again.
From Daryl Stewart

Albins at Deptford High Street with Elaine and Lynn looking after my Georgie were lovely with her and took great care of my daughter. John and the boys were great on the day of funeral everything we asked they did and it was a fantastic send off for my Georgie. Thanks to everyone at Albins especially Elaine Lynn and John 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

From the moment I called them, on the night dad died, and throughout all my interactions with them, they have been courteous, helpful and professional. They were recommended to us by a family friend who used them five years ago, and I would now thoroughly recommend them too. If Simon, who was overseeing Dads arrangements, wasn't available, one of his colleagues was on hand to assist. Excellent service from start to finish.

Warm, friendly, professional and very helpful people who helped my family through an extremely tough time. The funeral service went really well and was simple to arrange with the team at Albin’s expert help. Mickey Thorpe, our funeral director, is a wonderful man, able to make us all smile and laugh through the darkest of times. We couldn’t recommend them more.

F A Albin and Sons from the start to the finish, were always professional and dignified.
They showed our loved one and our family care and understanding at a time when it was most needed. That’s why we have continued to use Albin & Sons as my family have for many years.
Their attention to detail and guiding us respectfully when needed was invaluable, and nothing was too much trouble.
The photo reflection was beautiful and the web link we had to relations in Australia was superb. They all felt that they were there on the day.
We will always recommend F A Albin & Sons.
We would like to thank them for everything they did to make Mums funeral a very special day.

From the initial call to Albins to the funeral itself, the experience has been wonderful. At every stage they are the optimal professionals and show such care and empathy throughout. You cannot fault them.

Throughout the entire process, Dawn and Chris were helpful, supportive and comforting. On the day Steve looked after us in a calm caring way that made all the difference.
I cannot thank the entire team enough. -
5 Marie-Antoinette Armel 27th Sep 2024
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. -
