Scott and the Team at Albin’s couldn’t do enough for our family in arranging the funeral of my son Joseph. The day went better than we could’ve expected dealing with all aspects of the day.  This is the 2nd time in 2years we have used the expertise of Albin’s they conducted my late husband Tommy’s funeral last December . The whole team have so much empathy. We would like to say a special thank you to George for conducting the funeral. Best wishes The Hughes Family

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 would like to thank Albins for a fantastic send off for my mum, Joanna was  especially attentive and catered for our specific complex and delicate needs. I would also like to thank Jonathan and the boys for their attention to detail on the day, everything went so well.    I would also like to mention Peter and the ladies at Albins Bermondsey who showed so much empathy to us at this difficult time.  Thank you all so very much

  • 5 Janine Pratt 19th Oct 2023

    Respectful, professional friendly and caring. Supportive and helpful especially Caroline & John . We can never thank them enough for how they looked after us as a family.

  • 5 Joanne Fitzgibbon 18th Oct 2023

    We used Albins for Mums funeral 15 years ago and the service was impeccable so it was our only choice to use them for Dad. Outstanding and professional service from the team. Scott was absolutely brilliant as our main contact. Danny and the rest of the team on the day were amazing. As a family, we can’t thank them enough.

  • 5 Tony Apicella 16th Oct 2023

    We are so pleased the service and support given was 2nd to none. Nothing was too hard and guidance given allowed us to reach a goal to give my beloved Rose the sendoff she deserved.

    As sad as it is, if there is ever another situation where I would need an undertakers. I will definitely be using F A Albin & Sons

  • 5 Claire Davey 15th Oct 2023

    Wonderful service from start to finish from Albins. We were helped with difficult decisions all the way. Bluebell cemetery was beautiful and peaceful. I’m so pleased that I went with the best. 

  • 5 Peter Russell 26th Sep 2023

    Everything and everyone went above and beyond our expectations  professionally perfect. Thank you all . ❤️❤️

  • 5 Kathy Donovan 12th Sep 2023

    First class service 

  • 5 Ruthe Hunt 30th Aug 2023

    I cannot recommend Chris and the team at Welling enough, they made the whole family feel welcome and safe in their hands. They kept us informed at every stage and nothing was too much trouble (even when getting numerous calls from us a day).

    They couldn't do enough for us and ran us through the whole process, so that there were no surprises. The day before the funeral Chris personally called me which was incredibly touching.

    On the day the guys were absolutely amazing, incredibly respectful and made the whole process run smoothly.

    Jill the alternative minister was brilliant and made us feel that she knew Sue even though she didn't, but didn't go over the top as we have sometimes had in the past.

    If I could give F. A. Albin & Sons 10 stars - I would, as much as I don't want to have to speak to them again (for obvious reasons) I cannot see us using anyone else if the need arises.

    Thank you everyone


    Ruthe (and the whole family) x

  • 5 Kim Ballard 29th Aug 2023

    Supportive professional service 
    Thank you to Simon and his team for making the whole process easy and less stressful than it could have been. 

  • 5 Karen Read 29th Aug 2023

    I cannot thank the whole Albins team enough for all the help & support they gave us in transporting Terry home to UK, keeping us updated & then arranging the very best send off for an amazing man.   Christine & Dawn were amazing in helping us through the toughest of decisions.  Neil & his team helped us through the day of the funeral and ensured Terry received the respect he deserved.  We cannot tell you how much all of this has meant to us as a family and cannot recommend this wonderful family run concern enough. 

  • 5 Dulcy Orugboh 21st Aug 2023

    Words cannot express the deep gratitude that I have for Albins. Their exceptional, attention to detail is outstanding. They observe and are empathic to cultural differences even watching a YouTube clip to ensure that they tied our attire perfectly. They really do go the extra mile.

    Our Funeral Arranger, Scott was excellent, there was no job too small or too big. We were matched with Rev Owen who was our Minister, a true gem, extremely patient and kind. I honestly would not have a clue as to what to do without Albins.

    The team exceeded my expectations. Thank you Scott, Kristen, Pete, Rev Owen, Jason Cox, the kind gentleman that paged my Father to his place of residence. The pall bearers and all that made my Dad's funeral so special. If you need someone that you can trust, you can really count on Albins.

  • 5 Denise Clifford 19th Aug 2023

    The care and respect weve had from FA ALBINS is next to none. All staff are so
    professional. My husband had a very good send off. So did my dad and brother in 2021.

  • 5 Kim Bosky 16th Aug 2023

    Our family was looked after exceptionally , especially by Caroline . She was like a dear friend helping and guiding us through such a sad time for us . Cannot thank her enough , also special thanks to Laura and Pete xx
