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. You will be putting your loved one in the most loving and caring hands possible.
