We could not recommend these guys more highly from the minute we were in contact with them, they made everything so easy Shirley was amazing as were the guys who carried out the funeral so respectfully and professionally. It was like having family carry out the funeral they were respectful but also got our humour. We all agree that when our time comes they are the only people we would want to carry out our funerals.

    Myself, my sister and my Stepmother were all delighted with the way F A Albin Walworth conducted the funeral and the arrangements therewith. From start to finish the service was dignified, noble and efficient. Shirley at the branch was warm and full of advice and suggestions. The Reverend John Walker who she recommended to conduct the service was extremely professional and welcoming and the service went without a hitch. On the day, the drivers and pallbearers were very pleasant, warm and professional. We were extremely pleased with the way the funeral itself was conducted. We also thought that our beloved Peter was presented in an excellent way in the Chapel of Rest, he looked so peaceful and so much himself. The recommendation for the lady who did the flowers, Flowers by Tanya, was also first class. Everything about the arrangements were top notch from start to finish; thank you F A Albin for your professional conduct and your service which made the funeral so special.

  • 5 Phyllis Copeland 23rd Jan 2022

    An excellent professional service from start to finish. All the staff that we had contact with were respectful, patient and very informative in answering  any questions that we had. From Shirley in the Walworth branch, to the team who took care of proceedings on the funeral day, I can’t fault any of them and would highly recommend Albin’s to care of any funeral arrangements. A fantastic service!

    I would like to say that a huge thank you to Shirley at Albins Walworth, She was lovely. 
    It made arranging my mum’s funeral so much less stressful. On the day I couldn’t have asked for more. The funeral was beautiful and everything we’d asked for.

  • 5 Domenica Catino 19th Dec 2021

    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.

    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
