  • 5 Diane Gillespie 8th Feb 2019

    Christine and the whole team were absolutely wonderful. From the very early morning when George and Terry arrived to look after our dad, the care and respect they showed to us and more importantly to dad was exceptional. This genuine care and concern was also applied after meeting Christine and Dawn in the Welling Branch. They listened to our concerns and advised where necessary, and made this extremely upsetting time a little more bearable. The attention to detail was unbelievable and we cannot thank them enough for their support. Although there are many people behind the scenes that we never met the family would like to thank you all very much in the professional way you looked after our dad. Special thankyou’s to Christine, Dawn George and Terry.

  • 5 Terri Looker 21st Jan 2019

    This is the second funeral we have used Albins for and would not hesitate to use them again or recommend. 
    They are professional, compassionate and spend time with you to ensure they provide the service you want. They go the extra mile to ensure everything runs as smooth as possible. I cannot thank them enough 

  • 5 Anna Baron 19th Jan 2019

    Christine and Dawn at F Albins in Welling are so very kind and helpful. We as a family have had three family members pass away in 2018 and they managed the whole process with patience, thoughtfulness and compassion and we felt completely comfortable despite it being a deeply sad and awful time. They took away all the worry and concerns for every member of the family and we cannot thank them enough. The pallbearers were totally respectful from the time they left the funeral parlour, throughout the service and after everything had concluded. If you want total peace of mind that you are putting your loved one to rest respectfully with the best send off ever, then you should with out a doubt choose Albins.

  • 5 Lee Bunce 8th Jan 2019

  • 5 Natalie Troy 14th Dec 2018

    There isn’t enough words to say thank you to Christine, Dawn and Steven Bailey for all the help on giving the service to my Dad, your care for my Dad was second to none, and I will be always thankful for all you have done. 

    Thank you to Christine And Dawn especially for looking after me when I was tearful and sitting with me. I know Barry would be very proud of you all. 
    The job you do is amazing, so much so if there was anyway of giving something back I would. There way you looked after me, and my brother the day he died and looking a mess, I will always be thankful.

    I will be forever thankful I met you all. 

    Love 
    Natalie

  • 5 Jane Pickard 29th Sep 2017

    I can't stress enough how helpful this company is to guide you what is one of the worst times of your life. The kindness, compassion and caring shown was amazing. Christine at the Welling branch led us through this difficult process with true kindness. 
    On the day of the funeral, the respect shown to my poor dad was wonderful: at no time did it appear false. Steve, who led his team on the day was amazing. The care he showed towards my dead dad, to me and all my close relatives was exemplary. I can't recommend this company enough. You feel safe in their hands.

  • 5 Peter Sheehan 18th Sep 2017

    Excellent service, from the first telephone call through to the day of the funeral everything was handled professionally. Couldn't find fault in anything, would highly recommend.

  • 5 Janis Greenslade 26th Aug 2017

    I can not praise F A Albin more highly. At a time when the family felt completely devastated and lost at the loss of mum they treated our family like their family - what more could you ask? They were deeply respectful and compassionate and guided us through everything step by step. I felt mum would be in the best of hands and she was. Everything ran like clockwork. A particular mention must go to Jo Branch, who is normally based at the Bermondsey branch. Jo was the ultimate professional of course, but she was so much more. Her empathy and warmth made this painful and difficult time so much easier to bear. On the day, Lee and his team looked after us beautifully and helped us to give mum the send off she so deserved. Thank you F A Albin.
