From the first point of contact to the last I can not find any fault with the service that the staff of F A Albins have provided. An amazing extremely professional company who give the most amazing service.   Elaine made us feel at ease every step of the way.  She assisted me and was very understanding of what myself and my family were going through. On the day of the funeral, George helped me so much.  Such a difficult and upsetting occasion but he and his team couldn’t have dealt with it any better.   They were all very accommodating to our needs and made everything possible. Thank you all so much  Paula Maclachlan

    From the moment we stepped in to their office, we knew that we made the best decision in picking Elaine and everyone at Albin. Our mum was given the best care.

    If I could put ten stars I really would, the service received throughout from start to finish for my Grandads funeral was remarkable.
    Albins just go that extra mile so friendly and sympathetic which is comforting at such a sad time.
    My family have used Albins from as long as I can remember and never fail to amaze me, thank you to all that helped give my grandad the most PERFECT send off and made me feel as though he was royalty xxx

    Phenomenal service from the beginning until the end.  Cannot thank you all enough from the bottom of my heart.

  • 5 Samantha Newell 18th Aug 2021

    Lynn was very lovely and helpful she explained everything to us and even broke it down for us and our mum who is in a wheelchair so she could understand too.
    she always stopped and checked to make sure my brother who was on the phone could hear and understand what she was saying.
    It was lovely to meet her she brings such a warm vibe to the place in Deptford.

  • 5 Esther Nyende 19th Jul 2021

    Could not ask for better s

  • 5 Philip Wood 12th Apr 2021

    I was completely satisfied with the excellent service given by Albin’s. From the outset, both Jill and I were treated with great compassion.

    Lynn was particularly helpful with all the necessary administration as was Elaine, when necessary. 

    George and his colleague  were also first-class, when Jill was taken into their care. 

    On the day of her Funeral, every aspect of the event was dealt with respect and sensitivity, and both parts of the Funeral went perfectly. George and his Team were exemplary in their duties. 

    Jill’s friends were also her family and we are all most grateful to Albin’s for making this sad day so memorable.

    Sincere thanks. 


  • 5 Damian Petrou 17th Mar 2021

    Very pleased with the services of Albins - they were very patient and guided us through what was our first time of arranging a funeral . The service was delivered with great care , for me it was the little touches leaving a yellow rose at your door for when you return. The memory box.

  • 5 Cheryl Small 6th Mar 2021

    On behalf of myself and my family I would just like to Thank Elaine I don’t know where we would be today without her. The service we received is remarkable, her love and kindness, her support there was nothing to big or to small that she didn’t do for us. I will miss speaking to her and seeing her but Thank You for doing your best to comfort us during our time of loss. Lynn you was absolutely fabulous also all those lovely cups of tea as you knew we weren’t eating much. 
    You treated us all like family and kept us all in-line. There are no funeral directors like Albins you are all truly the best. 
    To all the men Danny & Jamie you were all amazing on the day I just want to say Thank You all we will never forget any of you. 
    Your service is outstanding, top class and your stand out from them all. 
    Keep doing a great job!!! 
    We are Thankful & Grateful for everything. 

  • 5 Gabriel Early 10th Feb 2021

    We were delighted with the service we received from Albins.
    Elaine attended us from the first call with proffesionalism and kindness. On the day of the funeral the service was impecable. I was always led to believe that organising a funeral was a minefield of difficulties and unexpected expenses. This was not my experience at all. Quite the contrary. Thank you Albins for attending us so perfectly.

  • 5 Michael Elson 17th Feb 2020

    Every part of what is a traumatic and upsetting process was dealt with such sensitivity. From the moment my wife was collected from Guys to talking about the arrangements with Elaine - who made myself and daughter feel relaxed and comforted that Kate was being so well looked after - to the day itself. The guys on the day were all fantastic. I didn't need to be concerned about anything but being in the moment of the service. They looked after me, my family and the huge number of people who turned up with quiet professionalism. Thank you so much.
