  • 5 Joanne Robinson 15th Jan 2025

    F A Albins and sons made what was a really upsetting time for us as a family more manageable. The professionalism, care and support they gave us was greatly appreciated, every member of staff we met or spoke to went above and beyond for our dear dad/husband while he was resting in their care and for us as a family as we were grieving. The service to celebrate dad’s life was so well organised and on the day every member of Albins staff were so thoughtful, professional and caring towards us. You made a really difficult time much easier to handle. So to all of you, your professionalism and compassion is extraordinary, thank you.

    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’s of Sidcup were truly amazing from the very first phone call to the very end of the funeral and are still there if I need them after .
    They were so well presented and their service was so professional and immaculate.
    Nothing was too much much trouble and the various little added touches made our family feel valued and they showed my mum so much dignity.
    They are the Rolls Royce in the funeral Industry.
