    Albin & Sons, Walworth have been so incredible when organising my husband’s funeral. Their care to our family, professionalism and respect helped us to get through this difficult time. We had no worries or concerns, Shirley gave us all the help and confidence we needed. A huge thank you to Pauline, our celebrant who was so kind, compassionate and helped us plan a beautiful service.

    If I could give more stars I would.  I honestly could not of wished for any better. The care and respect they gave my late husband even down to the small touches they done on the day was brilliant. Under the circumstances their compassion, care, respect and understanding they gave me and family was second to none. I wanted to do my husband proud and lay him to rest the best possible way I could and I can not thank all the staff at F.A Albin enough for helping me achieve that

  • 5 Maggie Delaney 8th Apr 2024

    The service we received from Shirley and the team at Albins has been extremely professional, caring, and compassionate, from the first moment of contact to completion of their services, it has been impeccable.

    The hearse and limousines were spotless, we found Danny and his team smart, exceptionally professional, and kind.

    At such a devastating time, losing a beloved mother, the whole experience was made more bearable, knowing that our mother was treated with such dignity and care by a professional organisation.

    Thank you Albins. We are profoundly grateful. The Delaney Family.

  • 5 Maureeen Bryan 15th Nov 2023

    An extremely professional service all the way.
    At the initial enquiry we started to feel that the team knew exactly what they were doing. On the day of the funeral from the pick up in the morning , to the smartly dressed chauffeurs the caring attitude of the whole team and genuine regard for our family shone through.
    Danny and his team were outstanding nothing was too much trouble they took the time to explain every detail as many times as needed.
    The respect and the care demonstrated was second to none and very much appreciated. There were unexpected touches that meant so much to all of us.
    Shirley at the Walworth branch ....what an absolute diamond she is.
    We can't thank her enough for taking so many of our worries away at a really difficult time.
    She walked us through every step and the attention to detail was exceptional.
    We cannot as a family recommend this family firm enough.

    A really outstandingly classy operation.
    Thank you all so much ! ...

  • 5 Matthew Leech 2nd Oct 2023

    Thank you so much for the organisation of my darling wife's funeral, which was carried out with dignity and to perfection.

    On the day, the professionalism of the conductor, chauffeurs and pallbearers was faultless. The conductors communication, in particular, was excellent, and ensured everything ran smoothly.

    I chose Albin & Sons because of the company’s 200 years of experience. This was shown in the outstanding quality of the service.

    Thank you all so very much.
