About Us

Built in 1974 on the site of the Old Runge Hall in Culling Road, the F.A. Albin & Sons head office was built to serve the community and has every facility to assist families at the time of bereavement.

The premises are located in close proximity to the public transport system and have allocated spaces for customer parking. Facilities include eight chapels of rest, a large garage to accommodate our modern fleet, a comprehensive mortuary, a museum as well as administration offices.
Also located at Culling Road is F.A. Albin & Sons' memorial garden, which consists of a large number of niches for families to inter the ashes of their loved ones, boulder plaques, wall and vase plaques where flowers can be placed. All remembrance opportunities are open to everyone so you will not be required to retain ashes in order to dedicate a memorial.

Funeral directors Jonathan and Simon Dyer are responsible for the branch and are available Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm, on Saturdays from 9 am to 2 pm and on Sundays from 10 am to 12 pm. The company operates a 24 hour on call response outside normal working hours.
Our office serves all of the M25 area.

The Albin family first worked as wardens of the Bermondsey cemetery over 200 years ago, to then start serving the community as funeral directors.

    Lovely people that there best support at very difficult times

  • 5 Lorna Hunt 23rd Feb 2025

    The initial appointment with the team was very pleasant and honourable bearing in mind the sensitive nature of the occasion. Joanna was very comforting and talked us through the whole process and answered any questions we had in a professional manner. We were in communication throughout the process either by personal appointment, telephone or email which was very satisfactory as we had questions at different stages of the process. She was very reassuring as were the other office staff. The pallbearers were very dignified and friendly and helped to make the whole process honourable for my later father. I have no reservations in recommending Albins to family, friends an colleagues.

  • 5 Mandy Ould 6th Feb 2025

  • 5 Robert Hanifan 4th Feb 2025

    Simon and the team, (especially Peter) have been unbelievable, from the first minute of me contacting Albins literally straight after my Dad passed to the day of the funeral itself.
    I can not speak highly enough about them.
    Brilliant.

  • 5 Felicity Briggs 7th Oct 2024

    From the moment I called them, on the night dad died, and throughout all my interactions with them, they have been courteous, helpful and professional. They were recommended to us by a family friend who used them five years ago, and I would now thoroughly recommend them too. If Simon, who was overseeing Dads arrangements, wasn't available, one of his colleagues was on hand to assist. Excellent service from start to finish. 

  • 5 Siobhan McKenna 29th Sep 2024
