I cannot praise Albins enough. Shirley Danny and the drivers were amazing when my mum died 8 days after burying dad. We used Albins walworth  branch for dad and they were so amazing we went back for mum. Nothing is to much trouble and the most important thing for me is how they treated my parents with dignity.  Highly recommended.

It was tasteful caring and extremely meaningful. They all went over and above . Made a heartbreaking time , more bearable. And everything was as perfect as it could be. Amazing people.

I had originally gone with another company which I was not satisfied with.  Got in touch with Shirley at Albins and straightaway a date was set .. arranged everything - all with dignity and respect for my dad. They were truly amazing and I am setting up a funeral plan for mum and myself with them as I know that it will be the professional dignified respectful service they gave my dad

    Thank you 

  • 5 Kathleen Salter 27th Jun 2021

    Can not tell you how amazing albins and son were because I have no words to describe how wonderful they are and how amazing my dads funeral was. We couldn’t have ask for a more perfect send off for my dad. Simon Jon and all the staff at Albins were compassionate and caring and utterly professional and looked after my dad from the moment my dad was picked up from our home and in trusted in their care . We were truly honoured and felt such pride on how beautiful and perfect the funeral was for my dad George salter
    From the moment ALFIE AND LOUIE came to our home and took my dad we felt comfortable knowing that dad was being looked after and we could rest knowing that my dad was treated with so much love and respect the lads Bowing to my dad and talking to him while moving him to take him to Albins. I never met such respectable gentleman before and I’m thankful for their compassionate kindness in our time of grief. And to Shirley @the Walworth branch what an amazing lady she had every thing we wanted down to the letter and made my mum and myself feel comfortable and at ease. She was amazing and we are so thankful to her . And the amazing work done on a custom coffin we wanted for dad . Custom made and painted with my dads favourite album . Pink floyds.. DARKSIDE OF THE MOON. 
    I wouldn’t give ALBIN AND SONS a 5 star review I would give them 100 star review but this website only went up to 5 stars. I wouldn’t have gone anywhere else for dads funeral Albins was our first and only choice to help dad progress on to his final resting place 
    So thank you SIMON ,JON AND  GEORGE ALFIE LOUIE SHIRLEY AND ALL  THE STAFF @ F.A.ALBINS AND SONS

    From visiting Shirley at the funeral parlour to on the day of the funeral. Everyone made us feel at ease at this sad time. I have used Albins before and they work in a very professional and compassionate manner. Can not fault them. Hopefully not too soon in the future, I will always go back to them and recommend to family and friends. Excellent service all round.
