Albins have been outstanding from our first contact with them through to the day of Dads ceremony showing so much care, compassion and respect throughout. They are so professional and I have received so much positive feedback from family members and friends regarding the send off they gave him in the Rolls royce hurst and splendid coffin making the very sad situation a proud one for Dad. I cannot recommend them more highly NIchola Woods

We very much appreciated the professionalism, sensitivity, availability of the team to help us through a very difficult time. The team managed all aspect of the smooth running of the service from the hearse to the beautiful flowers, video recording, music and much more... Thank you for looking after us not just on the day of the funeral but the whole period as pleasantly and caring as possible.

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.

    I am very happy I chose Albin & Sons to arrange our beloved father’s funeral service. Simon & Peter provided assistance at every step of the process and impressed me with their professionalism and dedication. They took some of the stress away in what has been a difficult time for us. James was also excellent on the day of the service at the Chapel. 
    I can’t praise the team of Albin & Sons enough for their excellent service and attention to detail and would happily recommend them.

    Thank-you everyone at Albins. We had our mum and dad’s funerals through Albins and now my only brother. Not only could they not be faulted but the funeral had more than 200 in attendance. They were so, so well organised. Attentive. Considerate and helpful. We would never go to anyone else. Thank-you so so much everyone

  • 5 Jochen Glemser 25th Mar 2024

    FA Albin & Sons provided a great service and help in the organisation of the funeral of my late wife. Simon and all staff, especially Joanna, Christine and Danny, were always there to answer questions, propose considerations, and guide reassuringly through all stages of saying farewell; from the repose in the private chapel, the placing of the coffin in church, through to the funeral mass and cremation. Through their calm, dignifying and professional manner they gave us the time and space to say goodbye, as well as to reflect in this sad moment without having to worry about arrangement technicalities. Thank you sincerely again.

  • 5 Brenda Francis 23rd Mar 2024

    Albins are definitely a comfort. I’ve never lost anyone in my life at 42 and they made this a very easy and comforting transition and process. They are there every step of the way and have the most respect and kindness from day one. Christine on the reception is even kind. Scott and Jamie looked after us and we as a
    Family will be forever greatfull and thankful for them. 

  • 5 Stevie James 17th Mar 2024
