  • 5 William Ripper 19th Dec 2022

    My family and my wife's family have used Albins for all the funerals that have occurred in our families since 1940 and probably also between the wars and they have always provided us with an excellent service.

    They are family undertakers and do everything humanly possible to ensure that the funeral proceedings are done with dignity and compassion.

  • 5 Anne Zirfas 24th Oct 2022

    I was so pleased we chose Albins for my husband’s funeral. We were treated with sensitivity and respect at all times and nothing was too much trouble for Christine and Dawn. Steve explained everything to us when we arrived at Kemnal Manor and organised everything in the Chapel and everyone was seated when the family walked in behind the coffin. I couldn’t fault anything from the first time we arrived to arrange the funeral until the end of the service. I would highly recommend Albins and everyone commented on how smoothly it ran from start to finish. Thank you so much for making a very difficult time for our family to go so smoothly. Anne Zirfas

  • 5 George Hodder 22nd Aug 2022

    From the second we walked in the door,Dawn and Christine could not have made us feel anymore at ease, especially my mother who was very nervous.
    We was taken through every stage with dignity and thoughtfulness.
    Nothing was a problem and if we wasn't sure we was given great advise. We was always kept updated on how things were progressing.
    On the day of the funeral everything was superb, from the men arriving with dad and and the respect they paid to dad and everyone who came.
    I have the highest respect for all the staff at Albins and would 100% recommend anybody to them and their excellent service.

    From Start to finish they as a family business show such compassion. I would personally like to thank Dawn and Christine in the Welling branch, who were there for me 24/7 if I needed them.
    Also, Simon and the boys on the day.

    I can't forget John and his wife who were so supportive to my neice Rebecca in getting my Mum out of hospital and getting the arrangements in place ASAP.

    Thankyou so much xx

  • 5 John Jenkins 26th Jul 2022

    Excellent service with very caring staff both in the office and on the day. Having been bought up in Bermondsey and been served in the past by both Fred and Barry it was a wonderful to see their high standards have found their way to Welling. Couldn’t recommend Albin’s higher. 

  • 5 Colin Smith 24th Jul 2022
