    We were very happy with Mickey and the staff at F A Albin in Sidcup for helping us organise a really memorable sending off for my father. On the day itself the director and celebrant worked very well together to make everything run smoothly.

  • 5 Sam Smith 22nd Mar 2021

    F.A.Albin Sidcup did my dads funeral 5 years ago and more recently my mums. They made the whole process of both funerals from start to finish much easier, they are compassionate and professional at all times. I would like to especially mention Mickey, Jane and Jon who all went above and beyond and made the lead up to the funeral and the day itself not just about grieving but so special too. I cannot thank & recommend them enough.

  • 5 Ronnie Westpfel 13th Mar 2021

    Exceptional sympathetic service. You get what you pay for. Thank you Mickey

  • 5 Lucy Burton 9th Mar 2021

    I didn't realise a funeral could be such a beautiful affair. Not a single thing could have been better. Mum was looked after like family and I was welcomed, supported and advised daily. Mickey and Jane are two of the most sincere people and leaving a loved one in their care felt so natural. From the embalming to the Chapel, the hearse to the limousines, the attire of the staff to the to the arrangement of the service.....everything was done with pride, decorum and a sprinkle of South London that cannot be replicated.

    Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart.

    Mickey and the team at FA Albins are outstanding. The attention to detail will never be forgotten by Lisa and I and they showed such professionalism and empathy. I would highly recommend them to take care of your loved ones when they pass.

  • 5 Sharon Shrigley 15th Jan 2021

    At a difficult time, it is always useful to have people who are sympathetic, professional & understand your wishes. This is particularly relevant during the covid pandemic.
    The whole Albin's team were exceptional, from the time we met with Mickey at the funeral parlour, to plan the funeral, until the day of the funeral, when Jon and his team ensured that everything went without a hitch.
    I would have no qualms in recommending the services of this company to deal with your loved one.
