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.

  • 5 Jean Warren 4th Mar 2019

    My fathers funeral went very well.  My dad left from Albin's in Bermondsey his birth place and it was lovely being there and seeing how they did everything.  They asked did anyone want to carry the coffin (which they did......different heights etc but it was sorted when we got to the crematorium) I cannot praise them highly enough.  Attention to every detail. They took a route to take in the area where my Dad had lived and John left a flower with a bow of the head.  
    I could go on and on about all the details but enough to say they are superb.  The staff on reception just so helpful and feeling.  We had Albin's for my mums funeral also.  THANK YOU ALBINS. Thank you Simon and John and everyone involved in my dad's funeral...ones I may not have seen or knew names of.  Also thank you Steve our Chauffeur.

  • 5 Gary Magold 29th Jan 2019

    Simon and John along with all the staff at F A Albin & Sons could not have done more for us. They are far and above the Excellent rating given. They organised everything we asked for perfectly and with the upmost respect and dignity. The little touches provided whilst my mum was in the Chapel and during the funeral itself added that extra gloss. Their service,advice and care have helped both my brothers and I through what has been a very difficult and deeply emotional period, and we can't thank them enough.

    F.A. Albin & Sons were the utmost professionals when dealing with every aspect of our mothers funeral. From the initial visit to the funeral itself, their service has been second to none. Neil at the Mottingham branch was simply amazing and nothing was ever too much trouble. The staff on the day were also brilliant, professional and friendly at all times. We would recommend them to anyone with the highest praise.
