About Us

Built in 1974 on the site of the Old Runge Hall in Culling Road, the F.A. Albin & Sons head office was built to serve the community and has every facility to assist families at the time of bereavement.

The premises are located in close proximity to the public transport system and have allocated spaces for customer parking. Facilities include eight chapels of rest, a large garage to accommodate our modern fleet, a comprehensive mortuary, a museum as well as administration offices.
Also located at Culling Road is F.A. Albin & Sons' memorial garden, which consists of a large number of niches for families to inter the ashes of their loved ones, boulder plaques, wall and vase plaques where flowers can be placed. All remembrance opportunities are open to everyone so you will not be required to retain ashes in order to dedicate a memorial.

Funeral directors Jonathan and Simon Dyer are responsible for the branch and are available Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm, on Saturdays from 9 am to 2 pm and on Sundays from 10 am to 12 pm. The company operates a 24 hour on call response outside normal working hours.
Our office serves all of the M25 area.

The Albin family first worked as wardens of the Bermondsey cemetery over 200 years ago, to then start serving the community as funeral directors.

  • 5 Alan Neeson 11th Nov 2022

    A very professional and warm environment. Caroline was amazing and organised the funeral exactly as we wanted and was always there if we needed to ask anything. The day itself was beautiful as can be with professional staff supporting us all the way through. A celebrant was arranged through Caroline who gave a stunning service. We cannot thank everyone enough. 

  • 5 Adam Boome 1st Nov 2022

    We couldn't have wanted for better funeral directors. Albins have cared for 2 very good friends of ours who died young from their death until after the funeral. They did it with sensitivity and great skill, which is why my wife wanted to use them for her funeral when she knew she was dying. She would not have been disappointed. They guided us through the process and made all of hers and our wishes reality.

  • 5 Louisa Wilson 30th Oct 2022

    From the first phone call the service they have provided has been exceptional very professional, patient and considerate at such a hard time everything I would have expected without knowing what I was expecting in the haze of grief, the extra beautiful touches like placing a flower outside my dad's door for respect was just beautiful. This was the first time I'm I've had to arrange a funeral by myself I honestly didn't feel alone the pallbearers Owen the priest and Scott you can tell it's more than a job to you I can't thank you enough it's still early days with the grief but I know in the future looking back the service you provided and the day I will hold close to my heart it was a brilliant send off! thanks to you guys
