I highly recommend Albin’s. They made a very difficult time bearable. Their attention to details and considerate nature is second to none. A special mention to Danny at the Plaistow branch and Caroline.

From the beginning guided us through funeral plan. Very helpful, kept us aware of what was happening. On the day so respectful and on the this sad occasion, made us feel our mum was the most important person there.
