Albins did a fantastic job with my mums funeral as they did with my dads nearly 9 years ago.

Rebecca French 3rd Dec 2017

Thank you so much Albins for delivering such a dignified service to my late husband and father of my children. The professionalism, guidance and empathy of Elaine, Steve and Father Richard was truly exceptional and we will always be grateful for how they managed to lighten the load in our time of sorrow.

  • 5 Lesley Flynn 26th Nov 2017

    I was extremely satisfied with the care and service I received from Albin's, both from Elaine in the branch and the funeral guys.

    They were kind courteous and professional. Everything went very smoothly which is so much needed on such an occasion.

  • 5 Kelly Dummigan 19th Nov 2017

    Albins were simply fantastic. At a very difficult time they were kind and respectful and organised everything wonderfully for us. The funeral itself was handled by lovely respectful and super professional staff. I can't recommend Albins highly enough to anybody who needs help at such a difficult time.

  • 5 Ariane Roberts 14th Oct 2017

    From the moment we contacted Albin's they took an enormous weight off our minds. They listened carefully to everything we wanted and made it happen. They regularly rang to check things and dealt with everything in a compassionate but business like way, nothing was too much trouble.

    The funeral itsel was perfect, dignified, personal and exactly what we wanted. The flowers were beautiful and the day went as well as any such day could be.

    A heartfelt thanks to everyone involved and I recommendAlbin's with no hesitation whatsoever.

  • 5 Sharon Tatlock 3rd Oct 2017

  • 5 Martine Matabaro 7th Mar 2017

    Thank you for everything. You were fantastic. Mum was honoured.
    One little comment- there was a bit of a delay to get to the grave site(not your fault - the cemetery was the cause for that).
    God bless you. Thank you again.
    I will definitely recommend you to other people.

  • 5 Janet Walker 31st Jan 2017

    The funeral was for my wife and I had never been responsible for making arrangements before. From start to finish, Albins staff were helpful, respectful and compassionate. Always available if I needed advice and guided me through everything that needed to be done. I can't speak highly enough of them. Thanks very much to Elaine and all at Albins for helping so much through this difficult time.

  • 5 Carol Wood 29th Jan 2017

    I cannot praise the staff enough. From the moment we contacted them to the day of my mums funeral the service we received was excellent. Elaine is very caring and at a very difficult time she arranged everything from the minister down to the flowers. On the day Jon was fantastic and took the time to come in and meet the family and spoke to us about everything that would happen. A single rose was even placed on the wall as we left the house. All the boys were absolutely fabulous. They made a very difficult day just that little bit easier. Thank you all so very much .
