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.

    Our journey with Albins has honestly been incredible from start to finish. When losing a loved one which is a heartbreaking circumstance, Albins has made our journey that little easier with their outstanding service and care.We had the pleasure of having Caroline as our funeral arranger and there really are no words to describe how amazing she is. Mums service which was overseen by George was so truly special.
    Overall Albins impeccable service really touched everyone’s heart. The whole of the Albins team have gone above and beyond for our family and we cannot thank them enough xx 

  • 5 Julie Ann Collins-Kerr 5th Aug 2024

    From start to finish, F.A Albin &Sons, have done everything perfectly. Having to deal with a funeral service, I wasn’t sure what to do, I was recommended by so many people to this company and I must say they did not disappoint at all, at every stage they were able to help and guide me through all that I needed to know. 
    From my first conversation they were the only one of the 4 choices that set out and advised me on what to do where to go and what was needed. 
    I have already said to my daughter when it’s my turn, she already  knows to use F.A. Albin &Sons. 
    Fantastic family run service. 

  • 5 Carol Wardle 22nd Jul 2024

    Albins,  thank you to all the staff, you made a very difficult day easier to deal with, the care and support we received was outstanding.

Thank you

  • 5 Stacey Read 10th Jul 2024

    Thank you every so much Albins. Our contact was Caroline and she was absolutely fantastic from the first moment meeting her, nothing was too much to ask for or explain. Alfie and the team on the day of my dads funeral were amazing, they ensured everything when smoothly. These are the times you will unfortunatley never forget however to have a funeral directors who are so supportive and accomodating to needs eases the stress and pressure. I will be forever grateful for the support, care and love you have shown our family in our time of need.
