An excellent company you could not ask for better. 

Roselyne Kaguo 2nd Oct 2022

I really would like to commend F A Albin&Sons for the way they received us from Day One and guided us through a very unexpected and difficult time in our lives. The compassion and care they demonstrated was reassuring and they were always available to respond to our many questions, as we had never been through this process before. I would like to especially thank Joanna and Scott for bearing with us and being so kind. This really eased our minds and made a difficult situation less burdensome.They took over the process and what a relief this was to us who were grieving. Thank you to all the lovely staff who worked behind the scenes throughout this period and also on the day of the burial. God bless you all.

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.

    Complete professionals and they provided very kind, sensitive and thoughtful support through planning our father's funeral. It was dignified and everything ran perfectly. We are truly grateful for all of it. Many thanks.

  • 5 Bridget Perry 27th Sep 2022

    When someone dies people say ‘there are no words’ well that also applies when it comes to thanking Simon John and all the team, they are very professional but also have the personal touch. Their reputation speaks volumes for them and they are an integral of the community and are very understanding and when needed give advice and guidance. When you first visit them you know you and your loved ones are in safe hands.

    My husband's prepaid funeral plan was delivered with care and understanding.Optimum support was given to me and my family and all our wishes were dealt with with empathy. The funeral service and subsequent burial including requested music were delivered respectfully and in perfect taste. The sincerity of all staff at Albin's was a great comfort. Thank you.

  • 5 Hilary Prince 18th Sep 2022

    I cannot fault the service given by F.A. Albin and Sons. From the first visit to the premises to discuss the funeral, the telephone calls and emails to confirm decisions made, to being driven back to the wake, it was the most professional service I have encountered in a very long time. Every single member of the personnel I met were exemplary in their care and attention to detail and I felt well guided throughout the whole process. This helped me mourn as I wished, without having to concern myself with the minutia of the day.

  • 5 Angela Peterson-Johnson 13th Sep 2022

    The family of Derek Johnson do not have the words to describe how grateful we are to Simon, Jon and all at Albins in Bermondsey for the caring, respectful way they handled the funeral of our brother. From start to finish, all the difficult decisions that had to be made in the run up to the funeral were made easier by the knowledge, experience and, above all, empathy of the Albins team and the support they gave us. The funeral was everything we could have hoped for and more and we would like a heartfelt thank for helping us to give Derek the send off he deserved. We will be recommending F. A. Albins Funeral Service to everyone we know.

  • 5 Michael O’Brien 21st Aug 2022

    We found the help and service provided at all stages from picking up Tim's body at his home to the Cremation service at Hither Green to be everything we needed as a family to bring closure for Tim's untimely death

    In particular both Caroline and Lynn were always available to answer any questions about funeral matters and at the cremation Owen provided just the right balance with the Service and George and the team the level of support we needed throughout the ceremony

    Our funeral was arranged by Caroline, it was not an easy task as there had to be a lot of calling around and juggling dates put both she and the team pulled out all the stops for us. On the day of our service we were looked after fantastically. Thank you for your incredible care.
