  • 5 Pamela Houghton 2nd May 2017

    Excellent service from start to finish !! Shirley and the team took the weight off our shoulders, advised us with things we were unsure off. 
    And on the day of my husband Tony Houghton funeral, they couldnt help us enough. I'm afraid everything was very much a blur so don't remember all the names of the team, but our driver was brilliant joining in with the banter we were having in the car, and helping make a sad occasion a little happier just like our Tony wouldve. 
    We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all you done for us.
    Oh and I think the horses won the bet !!

    Amazing staff

  • 5 Sarah Roberts 28th Nov 2016

    Albins are the most professional but considerate funeral directors who go that extra mile to make sure the family are looked after and comfortable. At the most awful time for any family Albins make it a little bit easier and lead you through every step with empathy and compassion. Excellent service all round.
