  • 5 Beverley Joiner 3rd Feb 2023

    With the guidance and advice from Mickey our stepfather had a wonderful send off. From the red rose left on mum's doorstep to delivering us to his wake, F A Albin were exceptional. Very professional, empathetic and extremely courteous and kind. Could not fault them and I have no hesitation in highly recommending them. I would definitely use them again. Thank you

  • 5 Jenny Johnson 23rd Jan 2023

    It is with great pleasure to say that myself, family and friends, rate F.A. Albin of Sidcup as the best of all Funeral Directors to go to, for looking after a departed loved one and the following funeral. The attention and comfort they give to the breaved family members is superb, as is the care of the departed loved one. Our latest loss was of our beloved Mother, Della Patricia Fraser. When we visited her, so carefully had she been looked after, it was as though she was just sleeping peacefully. We have always found the people who work at F.A. Albin to be so caring and helpful at a time of great grief. The church service was excellent, giving our Mother a wonderful send off. Without a doubt, we would always recommend F.A. Albin as the best of funeral directors to go to, for the care of a departed loved one and their family. Jennifer Johnson and Family

  • 5 Rachel Bartlett 17th Jan 2023

    From the minute Dad was collected from home to when they drove us to the wake on the day of the funeral Albin's have been the most professional, caring and helpful funeral directors. In particular Mickey Thorpe, Sidcup branch manager, who guided us through the entire process. We are forever in debt to him and his boys fof the respect and love they showed Dad and our family.

  • 5 Jane Rankin 9th Dec 2022

    Excellent. Very helpful from start to finish. Great service.

  • 5 sandra Linda Lee 9th Dec 2022

    John, Jane and the guys are just amazing.  At such a painful time they help with so much and do everything they can to help.  They do not provide a service they provide friendship, guidance, help, support, advice, comfort and kindness.  We really do not know what we would have done without them. They are very special to us.

  • 5 June Marie Barratt 27th Nov 2022

    I can honestly say every person we spoke to when going into albins Sidcup was so professional they made the whole process so much easier . 

  • 5 Jeremy Lambe 24th Oct 2022

    Organsing a Funeral was unknown territory for us; however as soon as we picked up the phone and walked through the Door; Mickey and all of his associates guided us impecably through the entire process. From start to finish, every detail was intelligible; every procedure was precise. Subsequently the Day itself reflected Albins absolute professionalism and was wonderful.

  • 5 Shannon Winter 13th Sep 2022

    Albins did the most incredible job in looking after our beautiful mum and wife, as well as us as a family. Their love, support and comfort towards us will never be forgotten and we will forever be so grateful for them. 
    The funeral from the minute they arrived went perfectly and was so professional, yet with comfort and laughs between the family and albins. 
    Thank you for everything. 

  • 5 Roy Howard 24th Aug 2022

    The staff at Albin's were respectful and professional and the organisation from them was very helpful, especially at this difficult time.

  • 5 Lisa Murray 1st Aug 2022

    We cannot express our gratitude for the amazing support we have had from Albin's in organising our dads funeral. Mickey Thorpe is just exceptional holding you up from start to finish with compassion, efficiency and kindness. Knowing that my dad was in the care of Mickey and his team, gave us all great comfort. When the cars and Mickeys team arrived to take us to Kemnal, it literally melted our hearts, when Mickey walked in front of the cars along with his team, immaculate, professional and so caring. Mickey guided us every step of the way with heart felt warmth and we gave my dad a send off that looked fit for a King due to the expertise and efficiency and help from Mickey and his amazing team. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for taking such great care of our dad, we will be forever grateful. Love to you all. Lisa Murray and family x

    What can I say about Albins - I could write a book on how marvellous they all are.
    The service you receive is phenomenal. The personal touch is amazing - they all make you feel like part of their family. Arranging a funeral is one of the hardest things I have had to organise in my life but Albins especially Mickey & John, made me feel at ease and I am so grateful for that. I could not have done this without their help, advice and guidance.

  • 5 Jessica Verrier 29th May 2022

  • 5 Daniel Mc Carthy 21st Jan 2022

    The guys at Albins have been nothing short of brilliant. They truly made a really difficult time so hassle free and were professional, efficient and attentive at every possible moment.  Mickey at the sidcup branch couldn’t of been more helpful and we will always use Albins going forward.

  • 5 Simon Wyeth 22nd Nov 2021

    Mickey made the arrangements simple and straight forward, he and the team on the day were professional, friendly and approachable throughout. Thank you

  • 5 Bridget Young 12th Nov 2021

    Albins we’re excellent and professional.  They looked after our late father and helped us to organise everything seamlessly from start to finish.  We couldn’t have asked for any more.  Thank you.

  • 5 Catherine Emmott 7th Nov 2021

    We were extremely satisfied with the service provided by all the staff at F.A. Albin Sidcup. The men who collected my father's body were efficient and very respectful. Mickey Thorpe, in the office, was helpful and informative at all stages – he gave us excellent suggestions and answered our questions promptly and well. The funeral itself was very well conducted – the funeral director and his staff supported us and our guests and were very considerate, particularly with disability access and inclusion. On the day, it was a lovely gesture when the hearse drove past the Albins Office and the staff stood outside and bowed to our funeral procession – we were very touched by that. Also, the route taken between the funeral and wake was well-chosen to take us through the most scenic areas in our local landscape. Albins was recommended to us by other family members who have used their services – we are very pleased that we chose them and we will certainly recommend them to other people.

  • 5 Christine Robins 27th Jul 2021

    An exceptional and thoughtful company who do everything they can to help at a very sad time. All the staff are excellent and cannot be faulted.

  • 5 Sarah Jeffery 14th Jul 2021

    Nothing was too much trouble and was always made to feel very welcome in the Sidcup office. A beautiful service for our Mum, thank you.

  • 5 Bethany Klarmann 6th Jul 2021

    We can’t begin to thank F.A Albins Sidcup enough for their  unbelievable service. They helped us so much with our son Ronnie’s service we will forever be in debt to them. The love and care and level of professionalism that goes into their work is out of this world, we’ve made friends for life. Thank you so much. 

  • 5 John Alfred Wickes 9th Jun 2021
