Our daughter’s funeral was held by Albin and Hitchcock where Debbie and her team showed such great care and attention throughout. The funeral was a beautiful send off and everything we could have hoped for, we would like to say a huge thank you and would highly recommend their services.

Albin & Hitchcock conducted my Aunt's funeral with faultless care and attention. In particular I would commend Debbie Fisher of the Plaistow branch for her warm support, professionalism and attention to detail.Thank you.

It has been a very upsetting time for both myself, our children and John's parents, however Debbie at the plaistow branch made it as easy as she could and I am forever grateful to her. It really gives you the personal touch only having to talk to one person.

Right from the first day walking into the funeral home meeting Debbie to the burial day, we experienced a warm, friendly, helpful yet professional service. Just what was needed when going through a very difficult time.
Every member of staff went extra miles in helping and honouring our mum. The pallbearers were excellent. A lot of our guests were very impressed. They really made the ceremony special.
I'm so thankful and deeply appreciate everyone involved.

Albins have caried out four funerals for my family members. I can’t speak highly enough of them, for their care, kindness, attention to detail and professionalism. They are an amazing group of people.

My mother's funeral in 2008 was beautiful. It was all made so easy. I encouraged a relative to use Albin's in 2007, then used Albins again in 2010. Nothing is too much trouble for them. I love their motto..The answer is Yes, Now ask the question. The girls I have dealt with over the years are Debbie and Lynn are very professional, and very friendly, they feel like family to me.
I cannot fault their service in any way whatsoever. I will be using them again at a future time. I highly recommend them.
5Angela Anderson15th Jan 2018
The staff throughout the Plaistow branch are second to none. They are kind, helpful, thoughtful at a time where nothing seems possible. They listen, chat and laugh and really get to know the family members they have in the care and the family dealing with the funeral. I can't thank them enough for making such a terrible time a little easier.
5Peter Dyer24th Oct 2017
Albins and Hitchcock were recommended to us and a very good recommendation it proved to be. They treated us all with the greatest courtesy and respect throughout and made what was a difficult and emotional time a little easier for us. Debbie at the Plaistow office was ever efficient and attentive in dealing with the detailed arrangements of the funeral and keeping us informed of matters. We greatly appreciate and thank all those involved prior to and on the funeral day.

Alvin and Hitchcock were excellent in every way!
Nothing was too much for them!
From the reception/ admin to the drivers. Everything was perfect.
Was put at ease about any queries we may have had.
Most things were sorted for us.
The most I had to do was pick up the phone once or twice.
They were personal and discreet when needed to be.
And so understanding. Love them and would recommend them without thinking about it!!!! xx

Our family is very small .these type of events and situations are and have been very few and far between. the professionalism of your staff at the parlour I.E. Debbie Fisher and your funeral team on the hearse and vehicles I.E. Lee and crew were truly amazing. They turned our sorrow into a manageable and truly beautiful final farewell for our son James Richard Cross. we were and still are really grateful for all that was done for us
Thank you.
